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 0-1ft with a 8s swell period. Wind is S at 9mph 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 Jetty Park is 0-1ft, produced by a 0.7ft E primary swell at 8s, a 0.7ft SE secondary swell at 3s, a 0.2ft N tertiary 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 Sunday from 7 AM to 10 AM with 1ft waves, a 8s swell period, and conditions rated Poor. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
