Jetty Park Surf Guide

One of Cocoa Beach's few saving graces when victory-at-sea NE swells stir up the coast, Jetty Park really only breaks well a couple of times a year, but the name surfaces when better breaks blow out. When it's on, Jetty Park can transform eight-foot windblown chop into more-sculpted, four-foot lines.
