| Took
a ride up the road a bit this AM. The first stop, which was waist high
yesterday, was barely knee today. So, tacked on another 20 minutes to
the road trip, to find knee to max thigh high leftovers. Inconsistent
but funable. Good to get wet.
At
home, stormy with light SW wind.
|
Light
local SE knee high storm swell early on. Gone now. Keep an eye on it.
Between the afternoon thunderstorms, which should spring up again today,
and our friend off the Carolina coast, it's difficult to predict what
to expect. For now, flat. |
Flat,
still and overcast. Don't take your eye off those cams. You never know

| Is
Alex pulling a fast one on Florida or what? Absolute flatness reigns supreme.
BUT, looking up for the weekend .... |
Flat,
muggy and buggy. Weekend hope has gone fizz in the Atlantic. Hope you were
one of the few who caught some yesterday morning. |
Flat
and, believe it or not, sunny. No surf today, but the leftovers of what
could've been Bonnie, may hook us up with some chop later on in the weekend
and Monday. It aint gonna be big, but it may be scrapable. Me likes scraps

Last
night's little something is alotta nothing today. Took a little trip upcoast
this AM for ankle high lotta nothing. Still always good to get wet, but
recommend staying home ... and watching those cams .... more on da way
....
|
Started
out way early and hit the Palm Beaches. Easily head high but on the mushy
side. Leashed up and ready to go out, got the call from home .... head high.
Surfed a little up the road from 6:30 to 9am. Waist to head high clean swell
until 8ish. After 8 size dropped and waves started closing out and, of course,
the crowd arrived. At home, swell is beginning to show, but smaller with
no one out. If the swell does not back off, should be pretty darn fun in
about an hour. Go SURF!!! |
Trace
lines but no rideable surf. Great day yesterday.... |

| Nothing
but flat. |
Flat
now, but that's going to change real soon. Charlie, the bearer of serious
power chop, comes our way. East wind should start picking up early tomorrow.
It aint going to be pretty by any means, but who are we to be picky? There
will definitely be surf, and it's going to get big! |
Surfed
6 to 7:30am. Started out knee high with 10 to 15 mph wind. By the time
we got out wind was solid 15 to 20 SSE.
Game
on!!!

Certainly
not what I was expecting to see this AM. BUT, I don't care what they say
about knee to thigh, this was some fun knee to thigh.
Consistent
knee with thigh to plus wind swell. Wind is picking up and so is the surf.
You know what to do.
|
Looks
as if yesterday evening was the best of Charles to-date. Hope you caught
some. AM session this morning was marginal knee high. Keep an eye on it.
You never know what might be sent our direction ...
|
Opted
with the family plan over rideable ankle to knee high. Definitely, the
right choice .... heavy rain and ligtening here on the beach over the
past couple hours. Great morning to chill!
Looking
to hook bacak up with the surf plan tomorrow. Winds forecast to blow 10
to 15 today and tonight. Should have rideable knee + waves. |

| Just
isn't happening out there this AM. Light breeze but not enough to bring
rideable chop. Maybe later in the week ... |
Nada
surf. This week may be a good week to catch up on those things that will
be neglected in weeks to come ... like sending your favorite digital camera
back to it's maker for a much needed tune-up. |
Pretty
darn flat out there. For you turtle lovers, hatchlings are making their
confused little march to mother Atlantic. Don't think I've ever seen so
many tracks on the beach as this morning. |

| Overcast
and dreary. No wind. No waves. |
Similar to yesterday. Just add a little light, but for us, it's all the
same .... no wind. No waves. |
OK,
I've written off this week. I'm going out on a limb here, but I think next
week will be the start, although a slow one, of the this surf season. July
and August ... done and over ... September, here we come! September - canes,
October - canes / wind, November - wind / wind, December on .... cold front.
Bring it on baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Completely
flat and still. I don't know about you, but although it's far away and WILL
bring waves our way next week, Frances is really freaking me out. |
Yesterday
evening's small N swell now gone. Small S line from nowhere, showing early
on, also gone by sun pop. Surf is but a few days away. Rest up, you're gonna
need it. |

| Frances
is beginning to look a little better for us in South Florida. Then again,
those in Punta Gorda were probably thinking the same thing about this time.
Don't let your gaurd down. |
