Yesterday's Quote of the Day
Surfing, alone among sports, generates laughter at its very suggestion, and this is because it turns not a skill into an art, but an inexplicable and useless urge into a vital way of life.
Classic Quote of the Month
The mind ought sometimes to be diverted
that it may return to better thinking

7:40 am: Early morning photos are up box #1 and you can see in between sets it’s flat. Wait around long enough and one of those 15-17 second interval groundswells will slide in. Not much size, but it’s bigger than flat with some knee high range waves on the sets. Some spots could be bigger than that, but not here at 3rd Street….
.
6:15 pm: New evening photos are up box #2 and you can see it’s semi-choppy and small with no one out here in the 3rd Street area. Some rolling and peaky waves around knee to maybe thigh high at times. At least the swell seems to be on the increase.
And on that positive note.. outta here. next update will be early in the morning… over and out…

Strong cold fronts are increasingly pushing through Florida, scouring out tropical moisture with cool/dry continental air as the 2024 hurricane season draws to a close. These cold fronts and associated coastal lows will determine our wind, waves and water temps as winter gets underway. Dean’s updated Surf Station Forecast calls for a modest uptick Black Friday into the holiday weekend as high pressure builds southward behind a weak cold front. A stronger arctic-origin cold front will invade Florida to start the work week, bringing the coldest air of the season and a “humps on the horizon/head south young man” swell. Bottom line, waves (or lack thereof) and an extended outbreak of very cold weather the upcoming week will make you wish that trip to the islands was booked for early December. Here is an overview of a large-scale, real-time wind map to track the shifting winds associated with the fronts and lows that produce our waves.
