COCOA BEACH, Fla. -- As of 5:00 a.m. on Sunday March 4, 2012, jelly fish were not present throughout Cocoa Beach from Coconuts on the Beach northward to Jetty Park in Cape Canaveral as a result of slightly westerly winds over the last few days pushing the jellies back away from shore.

Sargasso seaweed is barely present on shore or in the water.

Winds are from the south-southwest this morning at around 30 m.p.h.

Waves are 2 to 3 feet and choppy.
A near-shore ocean current is moving northward.

Today will not be a good day for surf fishing due to gusty winds and clouded water.  Additionally, small hammerhead sharks are hitting the line more often than keep fish.

 

There is a Wind Advisory For Brevard County

If you are planning a fishing trip today, it would be better to fish from Jetty Park, Port Canaveral locks, Cocoa Beach Pier, Indian River Lagoon, or Sebastian Inlet for Flounder and Sheepshead near rocks and pilings.

In the open near-shore ocean waters, Black Drum, Blue Fish, Red Drum, Whiting and Pompano have been hitting up and down the Brevard County coastline and inlet mouths during the last four months from Sebastian Inlet to Port Canaveral.
