Cocoa Beach Surf and Fishing Report for Thursday June 21, 2012


COCOA BEACH, Fla. -- As of 6:00 a.m. on Thursday June 21, 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.  However, easterly winds may push the jellies closer to shore today.
 
 
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 heavily present on shore and in the water.

 
Winds are from the east-southeast this morning at 8 miles per hour. 


A near shore current is moving southward.
 
 
Breaking waves are 1-3 feet and semi-choppy.  Easterly winds are pushing the wave height down today.

Conditions will not be good for surf fishing today due to clouded water and the heavy presence of seaweed.

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.
