fort myers beach surf report

Thursday:

Gulfsters:  South winds and wind swell stick around for Thursday with winds backing off for the afternoon.

Panhandle: Winds turn offshore setting up some clean leftovers for Thursday morning that could stick around for most of the day.  Winds build for the afternoon that could hollow out the waves a little but it will start to counter the swell dropping size if you wait too long.

Looking ahead:  

Gulfsters:  We are back to small to flat for Friday and Saturday.   We have a front coming through on Sunday which will probably mean some windows of decent sized but chunky wind swell with the possibility of some cleaner leftovers after the wind switch on Monday. 

Panhandle: Friday morning may have a few small leftovers before winds turn to the east for the afternoon. We have another round of strong SE winds and wind swell on Saturday with winds building as the day goes on and going NW for Sunday early AM.  Winds turn north for the afternoon but stay strong on Sunday.  We should have a decent 7 sec swell in the water to start the day but we will be on a downward trend into Monday so get on it while you can.
