The new Neilson Surf Shop Oceanfront wave-checking oasis has been constructed, complete with lounge area and views of the sandbars from the Streets down to Tables.

Wednesday morning

Got here early to shape a team riders board and there are some fun glassy offshore waves in the thigh to waist high size. Three foot East swell according to NOAH and a chance of rip currents with the out going tide ! Which can translate to fun waves for the experienced waterman on a nice fish, rocket fish or longboard If you need a fresh board me and Tico are here to help you out ! Burry’s out surfing but well be here early as well !

peas out, Tom

what there is surf?!

I walked the beach this morning in IHB and it was breaking on the beach. Just arrived at the shop here in Cocoa BEach and it is looking like super fun longboard or fish waves right now. So grab a rocket fish or a fish or your favorite longboard and go get some really fun glassy waves…Tom

surf on the down low

Well, I thought today was the day for the secret swell to arrive…huhh…oh well we forgot to tell the Ocean to deliver it to our beach ! Man, got some free time? Get on a plane and fly to Puerto Rico as it will be firiing there ! Good weekend swell coming according to my friends that live down there. Of course you can also pick another favorite carib island location as well…

Locally the surf out back is definetly on the down low even thou the wind is on the “Up high” ! strong NW wind. If your super hearty got the new wetsuit then you can hit it with a good longboard or fish but it is small in the thigh high range…Keep praying for some real surf to wander our way …in the next week?

Sunday morning fishing report

Lots of fisherman on the beach this morning. Surf is one foot and pure glass with a small longboard wave possible for the hardcore surfer. One “surfer girl” out this morning and did see her stand up on her longboard and get a short ride. Find that ultra shallow sandbar or go to the pier and have some fun on that nine to ten footer longboard. Speaking of longboards we got in a new batch of just insane longboards with beautiful resin tints including a really floatey beautiful Ten footer… The fog will burn off soon and it will be a nice day. Get out there and get some Sun as there is a pretty strong front coming through on Tuesday and the weather is going to get colder when it comes around to strong NW. Monday should be small and rideable with a SE wind predicted and then it will start to clock…today is the last day of our super sale. forty percent off sector nine and planet earth clothing and all our in stock wetsuits…mention the blog and get twenty five dollars off any surfboard in stock…

Friday surf check…

The surf this morning at 8:40 is mixed up but breaking on the inside about one to three foot. The wind is offshore but the offshore winds are strong and with alot of South in it making for some waves with poor form locally. As the wind comes around more West (not predicted right away) it may clean up. Check breaks like Ponce for some better conditions or down South like Spanish house when the tide drops. Right now the Sebastian inlet could be fun with some classic protection from the jetties. The tide is High which also with these conditions could make the Inlet a good call… Tom

Monday morning Presidents 2nd light report

Got to second light before the gates opened this morning and parked down at O’ club and walked up to second light. Looked crappy and side off shore with some squalls coming through. Turned out to be weak at first but then when you got one to stand up on the inside you got a nice waist high wall. Surf was waist to titty high and rideable. A couple of short boarders came out at second light and started hooting and having a good ol’ time getting some nice wedgy little lefts on the inside there. So perhaps it is all about attitude and going for it. Sure beats sitting at home complaining and the water sure felt good with only a spring or sleeves needed. Will get better as the tide drops and the wind goes more offshore… Have fun !

Wednesday morning surf report

Surf is looking really fun out back. The wind is on it blowing the lips back but every once and awhile there is a really nice stand up left. Get the overwedged ones for a good tube ride. Second light has to be a ton of fun right now. In front of the shop there are sandbars working all up and down the beach in both directions. If you can break away go for a surf right now while there is some swell left…

Tuesday surf update

The wind just went West during the latest squall but the surf is not completely cleaned up yet. But it is rideable and the water is still warm. Just need a pair of sleeves or spring suit.  Check the cam but often it is more fun then it looks. Be prepared for a drift as it is coming out of the South pretty strong. We just had a Noah’s arc style downpour here and those are good to follow up with a quick surf while it is cleaned up and “glassier” if that is a word. Are you hardcore? If so your out there…
