About
Cocoa Beach is the cultural heart of Florida surfing — Kelly Slater grew up here, Ron Jon's flagship store is the largest surf shop on earth, and the Cocoa Pier is the gathering point for the local scene. Small most of the time (Florida's continental shelf robs a lot of swell energy) but consistent, with year-round rideable waves.
The Break
Cocoa Beach Pier — pier-adjacent beach break, most consistent peaks on the south side.
Ideal Conditions
E/NE swell 2-6ft, offshore W/NW wind, all tides
