About Tables

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces E (89°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (269°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea is about 21°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually September, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Cocoa Beach, 8.3 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots.

Water about 25°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
