16th St. South surf guide
Surf: General: In general, it's another semi-mushy wave that turns on and off with the rest of Cocoa Beach, serving as a better high-tide spot than Brevard's southern coast, while occasionally getting blocked from NNE swells by the Cape. Still, there's plenty of room for surfers to spread out and the sandbars are constantly changing.
Tides: Low to mid tide; High tide sometimes okay here
Size: Thigh-1' overhead
Wind: W
Swell: ENE-E-ESE

Paddling: Not too bad but can be challenging when the surf is bigger.
Spot Rating: Pretty average spot overall; head this direction on out of control NE swells.
