Synopsis

Thursday:  Waist at 11 sec from the ENE.  Winds start the day offshore bringing clean conditions but turn to the North and kick up by the afternoon so get on it early!

Looking ahead:  Surf is dropping off a notch each day as we head into the weekend.  Friday is not looking the best with strong North winds disorganizing what’s left of the ENE swell.  There may be some decent leftovers for Saturday as well as gentle winds so you might get lucky at the better spots.  Looks like Sunday will be back to smaller wave size.

Bryan and SurfGuru's predictions are his own observations!!  He has to look at several models that all give different data then compare it to the buoys and historical data to decide what is going to happen every time.  If you missed out on epic surf or a 12 second barrel, he's not responsible because he doesn't get paid enough or sometimes at all.  So to help you and him out, always check the Florida Wave Models and other Florida surf forecast links below to see for yourself.

Always check the weather models, to see for yourself and learn to forecast the next swell... we'll post changes if needed... NOTE: Bryan's Predications are his own observations!! But he is not responsible if...

  • you did not catch it offshore and glassy.
  • you missed out on a 10 second barrel.
  • you had to work yesterday and it was Stellar!
  • you forgot to check with SurfGuru, DUH!

So what does all this mean? If it's flat, crank up the bikes, go fishing, go skateboarding or just watch some Anime! (seriously there is some good stuff there)

The Dawn Patrol is ready for the Swell to start, so "Come to the Source!" and check the Florida Surf Report!
