Surfing and Golfing in Cocoa Beach

On Thursday afternoon, we drove up to Cocoa Beach.  Planned to spend about a week seeing Cindy’s family and attending a baby shower for her sister.

Up early on Friday due to the tantalizing surf forecast.  We hadn’t surfed since our trip to Costa Rica back in February.  Our boards were still unwaxed since that return flight.  Spent the first hour waxing up my board, then dressed and lathered up with sunscreen.  Had forgotten my surf hat in cape coral, so I wanted to make sure my face wouldn’t get scorched.  Conditions were quite nice with offshore winds and a 2-3 foot swell.  A number of people were already on the lineup by 830am and the tide was just starting to come in off the low.  Cindy joined me about an hour later and we both enjoyed some nice rides before the tide turned the waves into unrideable mush.  Scarfed down a huge lunch back at the house before driving over for our next activity of a round of golf with Cindy’s dad.  Great day to be out on the course and we all shot well!

Finished 18 just before sunset

Up early again on Saturday, even after a late-night airport run to pick up Cindy’s sister and brother-in-law.  Walked down to the beach at 730 for another surf session, but found it to be unrideable on the outgoing tide.  Walked back to the house to check on the other surfer’s status.  Matt and I walked back down around 9 and found the conditions had improved, so we paddled out.  Cindy joined us about 30 minutes later.  Once the tide filled in around 1030, we started catching some better waves.   Cindy and I surfed til about noon, then the rumbling stomachs needed some sustenance.  Back at the house, we grilled mahi sandwiches and enjoyed an afternoon of college football.  Great to be back in Cocoa Beach with the family and surfing again!!
