| Good two hour session with Seacliff. What looks like unrideable garbage from shore is fun fun fun. Knee to thigh to rare waist. Consistent waves. The Olga short period small wave swell train has arrived! All aboard. | Surfed 6:30 - 8:00. Glassy with knee high swell. Whenever I thought about getting out a thigh high wave would roll through. Not near as fun as yesterday but who am I to complain? Boca Beach Report said it the best. There are some peaks out there but it's nothing special... | Still. One foot chop. Unrideable |

| Hardcore rideable.
Knee to thigh mushy shorebreak with possibly an underlying swell. One guy
out at SR giving it his all. Wind blowing hard at 15+ out of the NE. |
Surfed 6 - 8am with Seacliff, Monster & Dirk. Inside improved during the session, breaking on the sandbar anywhere from knee to waist. Outside breaking waist to head high. Moderate South drift. Strong NNE wind plus Man of War. | 6 - 7:40 drift session with Seacliff, Dirk, Pottsie, Sprocket & Sprockette. Real fun. Surfed the outside. Consistent waist to rare head + bomb set. Moderate South drift. Twenty minute paddle out not fun but makeable. Go get some... |

| 6 - 7:45 drift session with Pottsie & Monster. Peaky outside fun. Waist to rare shoulder. Intermittent rain squalls. No drift. Light E wind early but was picking up, ESE 15. No one out at SR. Fun. Get on it. | 1st SALSA
meeting. Two morning sessions: first from 7:30
- 9 with Seacliff, Monster & Rush Reef; second from 11 - 12:45 with
Seacliff, Conan, Pottsie & Rush Reef. Both sessions very fun at thigh
to waist with slight North drift. Looks like gargage from shore, but very
rideable. Tide making it less consistent around mid-day. |
Occasional weak longboardable knee high line. Nice beach day. Light SE breeze. |

| Hardcore rideable wind chop. Small wind swell lines. Should be fun later at low tide. Wind E @ 10 - 15. | Unrideable dribble. Wind has backed off. Not looking good for any rideable surf today. | 12:30 pics from Deerfield Beach. Few guys walking around with boards but no one out. Unrideable Ft. Lauderdale up through Boca Raton. |

Beautiful beach day. Surfed 12 - 2:30 with Seacliff. Fun thigh to waist inside chop session. Plenty of waves to go around. Less consistent as tide fell out. Mostly sunny and warm. Only in South Florida ... |
Sunrise session with Seacliff and Monster. Fun, consistent waist to chest outside peaks. Inside waist high and mean. Moderate S drift on the inside with a moderate N drift on the outside. Wind is backing off. | Flat |

| Surfed 8 - 10 with Dirk. Crap on the inside but fun thigh to waist swell on the outside. Light South drift and chilly. Wind E @ 15 mph. MOWs galore. Didn't see any but I'm covered with itchy red welts. Worth the itch. | Surfed from 12:30 - 1:30.Not pretty. Slamming on the inside and mushed out on the outside. Moderate North drift. Plenty of waves but not as fun as yesterday or the day before. MOWs. Wave or two guarantees itchy welts. | Wind has died and so has the surf. Unrideable SE leftovers. No Christmas Eve surf distraction today. Time to be with family. Merry Christmas everyone! |

| Flat and unrideable. Beautiful Chrismas morning. | 1 - 3 mushing out and breaking mostly on shore in the morning. Fun waist high sets in the afternoon | 3PM, Surf looking more in the knee to thigh range with an occasional bigger set. Glassy and breaking close to the beach. Still fun. Many open parking spots at Palmetto and 40th St. |
