The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s not sugarcoat it – this 16-day stretch is a desert for surf. If you’re holding out for a proper session, you’re in for a long wait.
The first ten days are a total bust. From the 12th of August right through to the 21st of August, we’re looking at swell heights barely pushing 2 ft, all from the east-southeast. The combined wave energy is laughable, with values between 5 and 46 (weak). The conditions are mostly poor, with a mix of glassy mornings wasted on flat water and afternoons ruined by sea breezes.
The only tiny ray of light comes on the morning of the 19th of August. We get a bump of 2 ft from the ESE. The combined energy hits 97 (still weak), but it’s the best we’ll see. A light cross-off wind from the SSW keeps the surface clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. For a wave that small, it’s a struggle to get a worthwhile ride.
If you’re desperate, Jetty Park is the only game in town. It’s a beach/jetty setup, and it’s inconsistent. This kind of flat spell is more normal for the area. The water temp is about average for the time of year. The optimum swell direction is SSE, but we’re getting a side-shot from the ESE, which just doesn’t line up. For a spot that’s often busy, on a day like this, you’ll have it to yourself – but that’s because there’s no wave.
The 20th of August through the 27th of August offers nothing. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is a constant problem. There’s a brief clean moment on the 27th of August morning with a 1 ft wave and offshore wind, but the energy is still only 60. It’s a cruel tease.
For a spot like this, a blank run is more normal during a flat spell. It’s not a place that fires often. If it were me, I’d leave the board in the car and maybe go for a swim. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on days like this, especially when the afternoon sea breeze fills in. Stay patient, the forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get stoked about.
Rusty.

Information about the Jetty Park Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jetty Park provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jetty Park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jetty Park surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jetty Park) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jetty Park may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jetty Park is 15 km (9 miles) from Cocoa. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Cocoa. Cocoa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
