Jetty Park sits at the south side of the Port Canaveral inlet jetty and is classified as inconsistent — it only produces quality waves a handful of times per year. Its main value is as a fallback during strong south swells when spots further south are blown out. The jetty provides some swell refraction and wind protection. Heavy cruise ship and commercial boat traffic creates murky water.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Jetty Park is 1-2ft with a 4.4s swell period. Wind is SE at 11mph and conditions are rated Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Jetty Park is 1-2ft, produced by a 1ft NE primary swell at 7s, a 0.3ft ENE secondary swell at 13s, a 0.2ft ENE tertiary swell at 11s, a 3.1ft ESE wind swell swell at 4s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf Jetty Park is Tuesday from 7 AM to 10 AM with 2ft waves, a 5.5s swell period, and conditions rated Fair. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Jetty Park works best with a SSE swell and W winds. Offshore winds groom the face of the wave, while onshore winds turn it sloppy. Cross-offshore conditions usually produce the cleanest shape.
Tide plays a big role at Jetty Park. Mid tide works for most beach breaks, while reef and point breaks often prefer higher or lower stages. Use the tide chart above to line up your session with the swell peak.
Jetty Park is a beach with a sand bottom, suited to beginner surfers. Jetty Park sits at the south side of the Port Canaveral inlet jetty and is classified as inconsistent — it only produces quality waves a handful of times per year. Its main value is as a fallback during strong south swells when spots further south are blown out. The jetty provides some swell refraction and wind protection. Heavy cruise ship and commercial boat traffic creates murky water.
The prime season at Jetty Park is winter, when swell direction, wind patterns, and water temps line up most consistently. Outside the peak season you can still score, but you'll need to watch the forecast closely for the right windows.
Common hazards at Jetty Park include jetty rocks, strong currents, murky water from boat traffic, cruise ship wakes. Always check conditions before paddling out, respect local etiquette, and never surf alone if you're unfamiliar with the break.
Our Jetty Park forecast uses NOAA GFS and other weather models combined with spot-specific bathymetry to calculate breaking wave heights. Short-range (1-3 day) forecasts are most reliable. Extended forecasts show general trends. See the forecast accuracy card above for per-spot and regional performance metrics.
