The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty bleak for the next 16 days. We’ve got one spot, Jetty Park, a beach/jetty setup that’s inconsistent and usually crowded, and it’s just not delivering. The water is sitting at 87°F with a touch warmer than normal anomaly, which is nice for a swim, but not for surf.
The whole forecast is a long, empty gap of poor conditions. Through the first week and into the second, we’re stuck with tiny swell heights, mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft, and combined energy levels that hardly ever break past 100, often sitting in the 14 to 30 range (weak energy). That’s just not enough to push a wave. The swell direction is mostly from the east or east-southeast too, which is fine for the break, but the size is the real killer.
We do get a few mornings with glassy or clean conditions, like the morning of the 20th, the 21st, and even the 2nd of September, but it’s on waves that are basically flat. Light offshore winds from the west or southwest pop up here and there, but they’re wasted on this tiny swell. The only slight uptick is around the 28th of August morning, when the period jumps to 12 seconds and the combined energy hits 82 (still weak), but with a height of only 1ft, it’s still "surfable but very ordinary." The 30th of August morning has a similar vibe with 2ft and glassy conditions, but again, it’s just not enough.
Look, for beginners, these tiny waves are safe, but they’re barely rideable. For anyone else, it’s a total washout. The long-range stuff, like the 1st of September with a 13-second period, looks promising on paper, but the height is still 1ft. It’s a tease. We’re stuck in a dry spell, and with the break being inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
