More about Jetty Park surfspot

On rare occasions, waves can be surfed inside the channel entrance, but more likely, the south side of the jetty will break in big S or SE windchop. Lefts and rights on all tides. North of here the Coastguard will prevent people poaching the obviously good waves peaking along the coast of the Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral.

General: One of Cocoa Beach's few saving graces when victory-at-sea NE swells stir up the coast, Jetty Park really only breaks well a couple of times a year, but the name surfaces when better breaks blow out. When it's on, Jetty Park can transform eight-foot windblown chop into more-sculpted, four-foot lines. Tides: Low to mid-high tide Size: Waist-head Wind: A direct W is always best but the extensive Jetty can block strong NE winds. Swell: Out-of-control NE swell Bottom: Sand, chunks of jetty, rebar Paddling: Easy paddling. Good spot for beginners and newer surfers. Spot Rating: Go here on out of control NE windswells/swells.

Suitable for all ability levels.

Easy although pay to park.

Fall-Spring, Hurricane

Crowd Factor: Generally not that crowded. Local Vibe: Pretty mellow overall.

Low consistency, often crowded, estuary pollution, and large commercial shipping carrying the odd rocket or space shuttle fuel tank means Jetty Park isn’t high on the Brevard County hit list. If you see a large, dark gray shape in the water, you may have spotted one of the few remaining manatees that live in the Canaveral National Seashore.

Can get murky with tons of large boat traffic in and out of Port Canaveral. This is a cruise ship port.

Watch for submerged rebar.
