Surf Forecast note: Well. the Spectrum guy said it was too windy today to string a new line to the house, so after Dean caught up with post-Milton clean-up today he was finally able to log in to a friend’s network and update the 7-day Surf Forecast. it calls for wind-blown, overhead waves building into Sunday.
