Flat to choppy water with a big shallow area. There is a windsurfing school on city park property near launch but just south of launch area is flat shallow area (ankle to knee deep) that windsurfers can't go because their fins are too long.
Wetsuits are only needed from December to March with temperatures dipping down into the 40's°F on occasion. Water temps are moderate. Sun protection recommended.

Season starts in October when cold fronts start pushing through. October through May is the best time, but the most reliable months would be April and May when a combination of late season cold fronts and spring trades blow and it warmed back up. Summer: Southeast trade/thermal-lite to moderate, thunderstorm dodging. Fall: all directions but the Northeast is what we live for. Lite to windy, never can tell what day will produce. Winter: all directions, some gusty west winds on lagoon, and some great North and Northeast winds for the ocean. Spring: West, Northwest, North, Northeast and Southeast. Works best in Easterlies. Good in summer and spring with the evening thermals. Many times when the ocean side is unridable, the wind is good enough here.
From Orlando take 528 East. Drive almost until you reach Cocoa Beach, but before the last bridge take exit 52. Turn right and at the BP gas station turn left into the state park. Drive to the end of the street and the access is to the left. Free parking directly at the beach. Park closes at dark.
