COCOA BEACH,
Fla.
-- As of 6 a.m. on Friday August 3, 2012, jelly fish, including
Portuguese Man-o-War, are slightly present in the water
throughout Cocoa Beach from Coconuts on the
Beach northward to Jetty Park in Cape
Canaveral. Sea lice are less present along the coast of Brevard County
than last week. Vinegar will aid in relieving the sting.
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 southeast this morning at 5 miles per hour.
A near shore current is still.
Breaking waves are 1-3 feet and glassy.

Conditions are
good
for surf fishing today due to clear water, lack of seaweed, and small
surf. Sand fleas are still present along the beaches. The recent
full moon will create stronger tidal action over the next few days.
Ocean temperatures have dropped by a few degrees in recent days.
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 in July. Red fish are still hitting north of State Road 528.
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.
Off-shore, Mangrove Snapper, Tarpon, Cobia, and Kingfish are biting.
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.
