More about 16th St. South surfspot

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 Bottom: Sand 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.

Surf is generally suitable for all skill levels.

Most accesses have parking. It can fill up on weekends.

Fall-Spring, Hurricane

Crowd Factor: Plenty of room to spread out, but can get a crowd on a good peak. Local Vibe: Pretty mellow overall.

Usually very clean.

Watch for occasional shark or man-o-war.
