COCOA BEACH, Fla.
-- As of 7:00 a.m. on Thursday June 14, 2012, jelly fish, including
Portuguese Man-o-War, are not present in the water
throughout Cocoa Beach from Coconuts on the
Beach northward to Jetty Park in Cape
Canaveral.
Look for purple flags flying at
nearby lifeguard stations which would indicate the presence of jelly
fish in the immediate area. Red Flags indicate dangerous surf
conditions including rip currents.
Sargasso
seaweed is barely present on shore and in the water.
Winds are from the west-northwest this morning at 9 miles per hour.
A near shore current is moving northward.
Breaking waves are 0-2 feet and glassy.
Conditions for surf fishing will be better in the morning due to developing afternoon thunderstorms later in the day. The ocean water is much clearer than last week. Sand fleas remain in abundance along the beaches. Bait fish are easy to spot due to calm seas.
If
you are planning a
land-based fishing trip today with friends and family, it would be better
to fish from Jetty Park, Port Canaveral locks, Indian
River Lagoon, or Sebastian Inlet rather than the open ocean.
In the open near-shore ocean waters, Sea Trout, Black Drum, 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.
