COCOA BEACH,
Fla.
-- As of 6 a.m. on Sunday September 16, 2012, jelly fish, including
Portuguese Man-o-War, are 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 somewhat present on shore and in the water.
Winds are from the east this morning at 10 miles per hour.
A near shore is moving southward.
Breaking waves are 2-5 feet and semi-glassy this morning thanks to Hurricane Nadine generated swells.

Conditions
are not good
for surf fishing this morning due to seaweed, rough surf and clouded water.
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. Red
fish are still hitting north of State Road 528 despite the Indian River
Lagoon algae blooms which are the worst on the west and north side of the Indian River.
In the open near-shore ocean waters, Sea Trout, Black Drum, Red Drum, Whiting, Spanish Mackeral, Snook 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.
