Friday night, 7 PM update, Surf update Report for Saturday November 17, 2012 12:15 PM,

by oldwaverider, posted in Brevard Surf Predictions Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach, Miscellaneous Videos, galleries, etc.

Saturday Surf…Now looks to be chest high at the Cape and some Shoulder to Overhead down South, toward Satellite Beach.  Winds should have some “slight” offshores until 9 or 10 AM Saturday morning,  NNW in the 12 to 15 mph range, then turn North, Winds are now looking straight North at daybreak 5 to 10 mph and turning NNE by mid-morning, and increasing some throughout the day.  (We may get a bit of NNW for an hour , but doubtful now) For 3 days, it did look like Saturday was going to be the perfect offshore head high epic day,  but now it still looks fun if you surf up North, and get out there early.  At daybreak,  Low going high tide will be around 6-6:30 AM,  with NNW winds, so it should be really fun then. Today was fairly glassy and in the rib to chest high range, with long rides at the Cape, and couple feet bigger down south , but not as clean 🙂

And it appears to be a full head high surf window for the next 7 days, when it looks serious offshore, we’ll share that of course.

Have a great weekend!

Chest high plus Ground Swell incoming for late Friday morning, more Surfing Photos from Hurricane Sandy 9 to 12 foot faces (with a maybe 16 foot face at Boynton Inlet), Thursday afternoon Surf Report Update 11/08/12 2:30 PM, Surf forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach (November 08, 2012 posted)

Incoming ground swell for Friday morning should be bringing in some Chest high plus waves.  Maybe not at the Cape, but the Pier or a couple miles South of the pier should see increased size the further South you go.  The swell angle is so steep, at 9 AM Friday, 49 °, and straight offshore is 90, so our launch pads may block out a lot of this swell, at least the first day. (see rest of update, below photos)

We should see chest to shoulder high ground swell type power surf with onshore winds most of the week thru Saturday, and Sunday and Monday, more of the same but less power and a wind swell, however;

Friday morning , the winds switch from NNW at daybreak, toNorth at 8 to 12 mph until around 10 AM, so we could have some semi-glassy waves, thigh to chest high in the morning, at least somewhere between the Cape and 4rth Street North.  South of Minuteman CSWY, North winds are onshore.

DOUBLE OVERHEAD FOOTAGE VIDEO , BY PURE OCEAN TV FILMED AT RC’S, HURRICANE SANDY ON SUNDAY

We had a small but powerful ENE groundswell coming for Friday thru Sunday. Expect almost no waves because the swell that is out there is further than the 120, and the NW winds at the 120 won’t let the swell in anyhow 😦

Being in the right place at the right time, and a prayer.  This photo sequence was one of the small to medium size sets from Epic Sunday at Hightowers, with face heights jumping up to 14 every so often. My friends Mike and Cathy, were talking to a woman taking pictures of the perfect swell, and she asked the woman if she would take some shots of me if I paddled out for a few minutes.  So we were defintely in the right place at the right time.

I wasn’t going to paddle out, because I am old :),  but  a young friend (Seth) I met in the water there a couple months ago in a rib high day, said he would paddle out if I did, so with some perspiration and Old age prayer, I decide to go for it, just to get one wave, and try and avoid the clean up sets (14 to 15 foot faces) on the paddle out, that came thru every 15 or 20 minutes.

I got very lucky with my timing, made it out in 7 minutes with my hair dry, paddled for 2 or 3 waves, but to far out, so I came in a bit, and found one that looked like it was lining up, and then just started the crazy laugh 🙂  It was about a 10 or 11 foot face, I took off more parallel, cause straight bottom turns were almost a guaranteed pounding.  I tried to get ahead of the lip, and eventually, just carved up thet wall to get a boost of speed , shot out in front after it broke, and belly boarded in, and back up to the boardwalk in 22 minutes.  What a fun Ride, thank God for delivering perfect Hurricanes 🙂

Surf for Tuesday, there should be a little left, waist to chest high from the Cape and going South to Satellite Beach. Winds should be West in the 15 to 20 mph range, thanks to this wonderful cold front.

Monday should be overhead glass down South, and the Cape and CCB are very hard to predict.  This swell today was 41 degrees, so the Cape was blocked out from half the swell, and Monday, the angle goes 38 degrees with the falling swell, so I will go with, waist to chest high at the Cape, maybe shoulder high at the Pier.  The winds should be around 15 to 20 mph WNW at daybreak and kick up to 25 mph by noon, so get out early. Satellite Beach ought to see some 2 foot overhead sets.

Awesome waves everywhere today, Epic surf for J-Ave,  this afternoon for me was amazing fun with nothing but sick long rides from chest to head high, and Chilly!  (with only a rash guard, though some crazies were skinning it)

Satellite Beach was the most perfect I have seen it in size and form.  High tide this morning, was solid 9 to 12 foot with 14 foot sets, I got 2 video clips of rides, one was double overhead, and doubled on the guys head, but I’ll share that another day.

At low tide Satellite was slamming around noon,  solid 8 to 12 foot faces, with 14 foot plus sets, showing up every now and then, so I had to go out for just one wave, since it was the biggest and cleanest I have ever seen by RC’s and Hightowers.  A-frames, in the morning with 200 yard ride shoulders,  and at low tide, just as clean, but with a lot more closeouts.  But I got my one wave 🙂

The photos are of a guy on a double overhead wave (thought he’s hanging at the top but you can see his own body height under him and a spare 2 feet up top, so maybe more than 12 foot face), and the other is just an insane wall towering over 3 guys.

Wednesday 10/24 2 PM update for Friday still shows 17 to 18 foot swell from Hurricane Sandy now at 15 seconds as Freeman shares 10-12 foot backs south of Cocoa Beach which means 18-20 foot plus faces…if the swell continues in size, plus, a video of Kelly Slater wave of the day tow-in in Nazarre , Portugal, maybe a 30 foot face hanging with Garrett Macnamara, Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach Surf Report and Satellite Beach Surf Report and Forecast, October 24, 2012 at 2:00 PM

Friday still on track for 18 to 20 plus foot faces according to the models.  That means 10 to 12 foot backs of the waves, afternoon.  With 50 plus mph onshore winds 🙂

Magicseaweed shows the same swell model size here (not the face size, not the wave back size, but the swell size) check Magicseaweed here.

Bob Freeman’s report shows 10 to 12 foot backs for Friday, down by Satellite here.

PLAN ON HURRICANE WEATHER FRIDAY AND LOTS OF FLOODING!  THIS ONE WILL BE WITHIN 200 MILES OF SHORE AND MAY HAVE A LOT OF SURGE.

Saturday is still looking like 12 to 16 foot faces depending on where ya go and it does drop from daybreak till afternoon fairly fast , with semi-glass NNW winds, but unless ya wait till mid-afternoon, you won’t have winds less than 30 mph.

Sunday, looks like 10 to 12 foot plus faces and semi-glass winds with bigger sets of course.

The Video above is 3 people getting towed into Nazarre, Portugal, Kelly Slater caught the wave of the day, looks like a 30 foot face drop, really nice wall.

This was the place that Garrett caught last year a 9 foot 16 second period swell that produced an 80 foot face wave.  (they get a phenomena called refraction from other effects coming from other breaks North and South of Nazarre)  So normally, the biggest sets would come in at twice the swell size, but Nazarre’s 9 foot swell becomes like a 36 foot swell, and doubles the face heights on the biggest sets.

Start jogging, paddling, eating, sleeping, this could be the biggest waves we have had in years.

Surfing Video of Chuck in Satellite Beach from early Hurricane Rafael on 10-16-2012, Saturday night Surf Report Update 10/20/12 7:30 PM, Surf forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach (October 20, 2012 posted)

CHUCK – SURFING VIDEO – ONE NICE 12 SECOND WAVE

Sunday swell fades, doubtful anything will be left for Sunday, but we have an incoming windswell on Monday, that may turn ground swell on Friday with some serious overhead size possibilities.

The video was taken of Chuck down south, and was a nice left, about a 12 second ride peeling nicely, semi-glass, Satellite Beach.

Rafael swell jumped at the 120 buoy at 4:30 PM to 9.5 ft at 14 secs, Surf Video of Chuck down south of 2nd Light, one sweet left wave, Hurricane Rafael should send us chest to head high on Tuesday w some glass, Tuesday morning Surf Report Update 10/16/12 1100 AM, Surf forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach (October 16, 2012 posted)

CHUCK – SURF VIDEO OF ONE NICE LEFT

UPDATE AT 4:30 PM, OCTOBER 16TH , TUESDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT!  The waves jumped 50% in size since this morning and doubled in power, from 6 feet at 10 seconds at 8 AM to 9.5 feet at 14 seconds, at the 120 mile buoy.

The Rafael swell should be building a little today, it was sluggish at high tide this morning, but we tried to catch the winds offshore down south for the early size.  It was almost flat at the Cape this morning, and very small at the pier.  But south of 2nd light, it was waist to chest high, with a few bigger drops.  I took some video of Chuck, and will compile a full video, but for now, this is a nice left that he caught on semi-glass waist high wave 🙂

Wednesday should be bigger, shoulder high at the Cape to 1 to 2 foot over head down south in Satellite Beach, with MAYBE, NNW TO N WINDS UNTIL 9 AM WHICH IS OFFSHORE FOR THE CAPE (as of 7 PM tuesday night weather channel for the Cape), THEN NNE to East winds in the morning, in the 4 to 6 mph range which should be fun and clean for the Cape. It would definitely be worth a trip down south to catch it a foot or two bigger with the light onshore winds.

Thursday morning, it should be a little smaller probably waist high at the Cape, and Shoulder high on the set waves in Satellite Beach, but we may have some glassy SSW 6 to 10 mph winds, so down south of 6th street south is your best bet if you want offshore winds. SSW is sideshore for the Cape.

Enjoy the swell.

A friend on a Surf Trip to El Salvador and an awesome video to share the Great Surf they had, Thursday night Surf Report Update October 11 2012 11:00 PM, Surf forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach (October 11, 2012 posted)

Big incoming windswell approaching but more on that in a minute…THURSDAY NIGHT SURF UPDATE, FINALLY!  SEE BELOW THE VIDEO, FOR Thurs. 10/11/12, 11 PM update;

Here is a Surf Video that a buddy of mine from high school’s Son  (David ) went on and just got back from El Salvador, four of them surfed spectacular waves.

On October 2, 2012 four friends traveled south from Florida to Punta Roca, El Salvador in search of the best waves they could possibly find. David Bondy influenced Truc Nguyen, Drew Hoffman, and Jeremy Romero to go on a 3 day trip that turned into a experience of a life time. Enjoy some of the out of control footage from this 3 day adventure.

Edited by: Chuck Magid

Brought to you by:
The Bondy Collection & Magid Music Hope you enjoy the video, an nice job of ripping, a great section in the middle of some classic wipeouts, and some all around good size with some big sets to add a thrill.  Enjoy the video!

We have a huge wind swell coming in that should have a number of overhead chop days, high tides will be the more user friendly paddle out 🙂  Look for next Wednesday (10/17) as a big, overhead ground swell and glassy day, with a chance of some North wind glass on Tuesday morning, but not as big as Wednesday the 17th.  Yes, it’s almost a week out so the glassy day can change, but that’s the call for now.

Enjoy the fact that we have lots of waves coming, chop or whatever.

Have a Great Friday!
