When we first got to RC’s North at 7:15-7:30, the lines were epic!  I had to earnestly look for a closeout.  After my 2 hours, yes, the closeouts began.  When I started to shoot footage;  but there were still plenty of Waves holding up still from 10 – 12 PM!

(NOTE: To see the best quality, click two of the lower right YouTube icons on the controls.  Click the gear and choose at least 720P or if u have great bandwidth go for 1080P.  Also choose the “Full Screen” icon on the far right, and then start the video over so the quality kicks in.  YouTube defaults at 360P and I can’t blame them!  Turn your volume up too for the Music)

The crowds were nill, yeah, the paddle out and the sets looked intimidating (for Florida, LOL),  but when you see perfect 6-9 foot faces , with a 10 foot face thrown in every 15 minutes or so, heading back North to Cocoa Beach and the Cape did not seem like an option 🙂

Today, we have waist to chest high plus with winds SW at 2nd light wind monitor at the base, and that was around 6 at 8:30 AM, which already changed from WNW.  Get out while you can!

Great Hurricane;  though I do hope and pray Bermuda came out okay …

A Small Southeast swell is rolling in, during the day Friday and will be here through Saturday.  We could have some knee to waist high waves with offshore winds both mornings.

The video below is an unknown surfer at 4rth street in Cocoa Beach on Tuesday.  I hope to have a 2 to 4 minute video of Big Tuesday in the next week.  Wednesday had some waist high plus waves too, at O Club and south, however, no video from Wednesday.

Old Longboarders Rule Surfing Video plus Shrinking but fun thigh to stomach high waves today, Saturday morning, 5/03 Surf report at 12:40 PM, forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach , posted 5/03/2014

If you want to see some Longboarder’s tearing it up and you don’t mind a couple of Beach Boys songs, then feel free to check out the 4 1/2 minute Surfing Video below 🙂

Today, Saturday, at 12:30 when I checked, the Waves are still looking fun in the thigh to stomach high  (down south), even with the winds playing variable with the small weather storm activity.  It is bigger down south, but our 30 minute after high tide window that started at J-Ave around 11:20 looked real fun, well, until a 1/4 mile pipe dredging removal , total swell block activity happened , interesting to look at though.

Anyhow, the swell shrinks all day, but should have some glass for another hour or so depending on the winds mind for the moment.

 

Surfing Video of Chad and Friday Morning is looking Epic, 3 days running now, Tuesday morning, 4/29 Surf report at 11:15 AM, forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach , posted 4/29/2014

Friday is looking potentially Epic with a 3 foot at 12 second ground swell, which could produce chest high plus waves between the Cape and Satellite Beach. More below…

Surfing footage of Chad riding a few nice glassy chest high plus waves in Satellite Beach, on April 22, 2014.

Friday could have stomach to chest high plus waves between the Cape and Satellite Beach with offshore winds up until noon.

Thursday afternoon should also have a strong chunk of the swell coming in late afternoon, also up to chest high, maybe South winds in the 10-15 mph range meaning Playalinda or Spanish House with offshore winds and a slight offshore effect in Satellite Beach.  This would be onshore winds North of Minuteman Causeway, so Thursday you may want to check out the South Streets or further south.

Saturday could have some thigh to waist high glassy leftovers 🙂

Friday night 04/04 9 PM update below, Saturday could provide us a Solid Ground swell around Waist high plus, Surfing Videos from a March 2014 swell, Thursday morning Surf report at 10:15 AM, forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach , April 03 2014 posted

Friday night 9:00 PM update from the report I shared Thursday below this Friday update;  Ground swell, is here, should hold, and winds still look SW to WSW in the 5 to 8 mph range on Saturday.  And Sunday, we may have SSW winds which is slight offshore from 8th South and further South.  Size should be the same, on Sunday or 6 inches bigger until 11 or 12 probably.

—————————————————————————————

Saturday morning could have a solid ENE Ground Swell for us with Waist to occasional Chest high sets and Glassy…More below on the incoming swell…

Walk on Water Productions website was out on Tuesday morning the 25th, to get the footage while it was Glass 🙂

The two videos below are some clips that I shot in Satellite Beach, both are from March 25, 2014 around 10 AM, with a nice Aerial at the end, and the second, is a clip of Chad that I shot on the same day, a nice glassy 10 second left 🙂  I will compile another video from the same day soon.

 


The swell period which determines whether or not we have a ground swell, starts rolling in Friday afternoon late, but come in Saturday morning around 6 to 9 am.  And it is supposed to strengthen thru the day bringing in more consistent chest high sets.  It could be glassy until noon even , air temp around 68 at daybreak, winds, SW to WSW in the 4 to 8 mph range.

Sunday morning, could be chest high, and semi-glassy down south, as the winds right now are showing South in the 10 plus mph range, so we won’t know more on that until Friday some time.

Enjoy, and we’ll post an update, if it looks like the winds will change drastically in any way.

Thanks, and have a great post Camel Day.

Semi Glassy waves by 1 or 2 PM today and glassy by 4 PM today Thursday March 6th in the waist to stomach range, this is the Thursday afternoon Surf report at 12:30 PM, forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach , March 06 2014 posted

Possible glassy waves by 2 PM today and very fun ! … More below…

Scariest Wipeout I have seen in a couple years on this video just below all this surf talk.  Tasmania has the Right, Shipstern Bluff, and this break in the Video which I never heard of, with a 40 plus foot face, and a wall thicker than Teahupoo.  The surfer thought he broke his back

My video just below this line, was one of the epic lefts that came thru on March 3rd,  Monday, a solid head high left, that this guy worked the face to stay ahead of the wave, awesome reading of the wave !  100 YARD PLUS RIDE, VERY SWEET 🙂  Walk On Water Productions.biz video, see our site here:

See our Facebook page too ! and Like us so we can do more Videos ! Thanks !  Oldwaverider

Today, Thursday, March 6th, we should have winds, that turn offshore sometime after 1 PM, with waist to stomach high waves, getting bigger of course as you move south.   Very strange , but here is the wind situation.  They started North at midnight, went NE,  as the push of the new smaller swell coming in late today comes in, the winds change to SSE, (this is at the Patrick Air Force base weather station which is the most accurate source of winds for us),  they are now turned south from 8 down to 6 mph, 10 am south at 8, and at 11 am the last reading they were south at 6 mph, so probably noon reading they will be south and by 1 Pm, they should make a shift to SSW, and maybe by 4 or 5 PM, they will turn SW.  So after 1 or 2 PM, there should be solid waist high to stomach high glassy waves south of 8th Street south, but by 6 PM, the little swell will be down to 2 feet probably.

Friday, late afternoon, a new swell starts rolling in, bringing us waist to stomach, but, the winds will be offshore strong, so they may literally blow it flat. If not, it should be fun, but it will bring solid waist to chest high waves for Saturday, and clean to semi-glassy conditions all day Saturday for the North only. (The Cape thru 4rth street North).  If it turns NNW, then Satellite Beach will have some shoulder high plus waves and semi-glassy, yeah !

Sunday, will be waist to chest high with light north winds my guess in the 6 to 8 mph range with a strong change of turning NNW or NW, then , it could be great not only North but also down South.

It was Chest to head high glass Today for March 3rd , this is the Monday evening March 3rd Surf report at 7:45 PM, forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach , March 03 2014 posted

Yes, we had some one to two foot overhead drops on some of the sets today!  Solid Chest to Head high waves, See the Video below 🙂  How bout Tuesday?

Tuesday should be thigh to waist high, with maybe a few chest high sets, but my guess is down south only on the upper end.  Winds should be great everywhere,  WNW at daybreak, turning NW and then to North by around Noon.

Thursday looks like EPIC DAY! YES, it could fail, but, looks overhead and glassy, Wednesday evening surf report update 6:30 PM November 06 2013, forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach , November 06, 2013 posted

Thursday, Last Look, Weather.com shows NW winds at daybreak for the Cape, not Cocoa Beach (now CCB does show from dawn to 8ish NW, yeah), but NW also for Satellite Beach and Melbourne Beach.  Probably cause CCB is at the base of the big old curve of our coastline, but heck, it still could be NW for CCB.

Thursday Size,  the Cape, shoulder to head high,  CCB to 2nd light Shoulder to 1 foot over head plus,  Satellite Beach Shoulder to 2 foot plus overhead.  Tide is Low going high, which ain’t so hot, but at 6 feet and 10 second period swell, it should be breaking outside far enough that the tide won’t affect it to bad.

Here are two photos I shot from a NE swell like this one (it was a much more perfect swell with a massive fetch, but anyhow),  this storm was a NE swell, was 6 feet at 11 seconds, the swell we have tomorrow is 6 feet at 10 seconds, so probably 30 to 40% less in size an power.  (photo shot November 10, 2011, and had double overhead waves, the barrel was not double overhead, but the 2nd photo was more than double overhead)

Same day, 6 feet at 11 second period NE swell, shot Nov 10 2011 by Oldwaverider (Art)

Today was Awesome, Waist to Shoulder high, depending on how far south you went 🙂    Johnson Ave had one of those rare days, where the form held tight and perfect for 3 or 4 hours, and very light onshore winds, with long lines, and a few hundred yard rides to be had,  well, on a longboard.  Below is a video I shot of the pier this morning from 9 to 10 AM.

Waves Sunday?  Down below…

Weather.com is showing 6 to 8 mph offshore winds, SSW turning SW by maybe 9 or 10.  MSW is showing twice that on wind speed, so I guess we’ll see which model shows up first.  I go with weather.com   Anyhow;  Sunday should be some knee to thigh high for the Cape, and waist high plus down south.  Enjoy, I believe it’s the last day of this swell 🙂
