If Shrimp were here he'd be telling some story about head high waves at some secret spot. That wouldn't be too funny after this past winter season and now heading into the flat season.

If I had the day off I would go fish.

Great to be back in town. After a two week vacation, it's time for a vacation from the vacation. It was great to see that many of the snowbirds that live in my condo have returned to their summer homes. Then again, that also means surf season has come to an end. Right now, it's unrideable, but it looks as if there is hope over the next 48 hours. Keep an eye on it!
Nasty, blown out and going to stick around for a while. Power chop conditions will reign supreme pretty much all week. Learn to love it. Summer is on the way ...
Plenty of surf to be had today, tomorrow and maybe even maybe the following days. This morning was very inconsistent waist to chest high with head high sets and a moderate S drift. It's high tide now, so if you have time you may want to wait a few hours.
Head to plus power chop. Unless your cranked up on a gallon of coffee and looking for a serious workout, leave the log at home. It's short board chop heaven out there. Go surf!
About 1/4 the size of yesteray. Be sure to add sealice to the mix. I came back with about a dozen welts, some in choice spots. Choice is yours, but I'd pass if I had to do it over again. Lice sucks ....

Wind has died down and the surf is on the way out for South Florida. There's a small thigh high swell out there right now. Waist high on the sets. Fairly consistent, fun and no lice. I'd get some while you can.
Either your at home amongst spring into summer flatness shuffling through your tax nightmare, while your friends head upcoast to catch clean surf, or you filed an extension and are heading upcoast to catch fun waves, while your dumbass friends ..... get in the car and take a drive if you can.
Waves upcoast, flat and beach day perfect at home. Today is a family day for most of us. Enjoy it!
Flat, and this coming week looks ... ah, flat.
Still and flat.
Overcast and flat. Maybe some knee high wind chop for Saturday. Not looking good.
Knee high mushy and .... rideable. Bring the board if you're hitting the beach, but unless you got a severe jonz it's not worth a special trip.
Wind has backed off and we are back to sumer like conditions. Still no waves in sight for this coming week.
Continued flat. Wind may pick up towards the end of the week.
Continued flat. Wind may pick up towards the end of the week. Repeat ...
Flat for the moment. Cold front heading down, which will provide us a short reprieve.
Boy is it nice out. Cool and dry. No surf yet, but wind should be picking up soon and you might be able to get wet this afternoon. If not, there's tomorrow and Sunday. Looks like chop with maybe some swell underneath. This time of year I'd almost gaurantee sea lice. Sunday probably depends on how many itchy welts you get on today and tomorrow.
Wind chop with small swell mixed in. Thigh to max waist high, but definitely on the way up. There will be surf over the next few days. It could be messy. It could also get big. Why bother even guessing, just go get wet. Oh, itch factor was low.
Wasn't happening at the local break so drove a few minutes up the road and caught some pretty fun ones in the waist to plus range early on. By the time the locals paddled out, the wind had picked up, tide had started filling in, and things had gone to crap. Also, took a good beating with sea lice, so unless it picks up, which it just might, I don't know if it's worth a week of itch.
