Cocoa Beach
Florida's central surf coast, home of Kelly Slater and Ron Jon
FLAT
Live Conditions
Conditions Summary
Small 1.1ft surf — but short 8s period indicates wind swell, expect choppy conditions — hitting at the ideal angle — light cross-shore winds, still manageable — Note: this is outside the peak season for this spot
HIGH CONFIDENCEFresh buoy data + calibrated transformation
Why it's FLAT
Swell Direction
Primary swell is 151° — wrong angle. This spot needs 80° swells to break properly.
Swell Period
4s — this is wind chop, not groundswell. Waves will be weak and disorganized.
Wind
4mph offshore — clean, grooming the wave face
Tide
Rising tide — workable window
Season
June is off-season — rare for this spot to get quality waves
Data Confidence
Fresh buoy data with calibrated coastal transformation

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
