Cocoa Beach Surf and Fishing Report for Tuesday July 10, 2012


COCOA BEACH, Fla. -- As of 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday July 10, 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 south this morning at 5 miles per hour. 


A near shore current is still.
 

Breaking waves are 0-2 feet and glassy.

Conditions are good for surf fishing this morning due to only slightly clouded water and small waves - but conditions will diminish by this afternoon as thunderstorms develop.
 
 
If you are planning an inland-based fishing trip today with friends and family, the waters around Jetty Park in Cape Canaveral, Port Canaveral locks, Indian River and Banana River on both sides of Merritt Island, and Sebastian Inlet have finally cleared and the sediment has settled.  Flounder has been plentiful around the Cocoa Beach Pier and Jetties the first week of July.
 

In the open near-shore ocean waters, Sea Trout, Black Drum, Red Drum, Whiting, Spanish Mackeral 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.  
 

Right whales are active off Florida. Speed restrictions of 10 knots apply to vessels 65 feet or greater in specific areas and times along the U.S. East Coast.  It is illegal to approach right whales within 500 yards.
