Central Florida Hurricane represents the open beach south of New Smyrna Beach, likely along the 24-mile undeveloped stretch of Canaveral National Seashore. The name denotes a storm-swell-dependent beach break — on flat days there is little surf, but during hurricane swells the open beach produces quality waves far less crowded than the NSB inlet. A remote, pristine option when the inlet maxes out.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Central Florida Hurricane is 0-1ft with a 8.2s swell period. Wind is SSE at 10mph and conditions are rated Very Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Central Florida Hurricane is 0-1ft, produced by a 0.9ft ESE primary swell at 8s, a 0.6ft N secondary swell at 3s, a 0.5ft E wind swell swell at 2s. 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.
