Did you see the 10:25 pict of Sebastion? SILLY, SILLY I tell ya.

OK for you Miami folks that can't get up to Boca or Deerfield or Pompano, go to the beach and wait. By noon we"ll have waves.  Visual report is Delray now Over Head boca on the rise.

OH AND THE BEST PART______--------_______ OFFSHORE BREEZES!

The festivities might even last into tomorrow.

Thank you and good bye. 

Here we go. Great anticipation of the days to come. Everyone giddy with excitement . Even a few butterflies in the stomach .  Setup is close to ideal. Reality and your results may vary.  Right now Earl the Pearl is in a perfect position for a slot type swell.  Hard to say what will happen since there are many variables . We don't want it too soon when the winds are still onshore. More important is the NE then eventual N swell from the NE quadrant as Earl moves North. Tricky part will be going North enough to find decent sized surf VS out of control (wind and wave wise) situation. A good example of this is 1984's hurricane Josephine which took a very similar path and at similar strength (although at a slower movement) . I recall going up to Stuart region and finding it completely out of control raw and breaking what seemed like a mile out. Going South we stopped at Reef road and it was much cleaner but still huge and heaving . After a show of hands our foursome decided on a drive South to a more manageable double overhead , spiffy clean and alltime Lakeworth Pier.

    As Xavi mentioned on an earlier post, Tomorrow will be a good day to take off from work. Not sure its really necessary to DP and we can wait till midmorning to see how the windswitch is doing . Good to be on call. The afternoon is a sure bet with perfect offshores and plenty of swell likely reaching South . Should reach Dade at some point. No need to overanalyze the situation. Just got to get out there and enjoy. Hopefully this will be one of those events that stand out in the memory banks.

Danielle looking healthy , sure to bring waves this weekend above the Bahama Blockage. The big question is- Will there be swell Sat morning when the winds are lightest and how far will we have to go?  After review of many models, forecasts and Surf websites the concensus is the swell will come Sat  2-3 ft at 15-17 sec from a 105 deg angle. Surf fills in through the day. With the angle and size most likely we can expect Knee to waist high Ft Pierce North to Cocoa. Bigger as you go near and above the cape. Swell angle will turn more East through Sunday (95 then 90 deg) so spots in Martin county will start picking up more swell. Sunday the swell heights go to 5-8 ft with a 4 sec period .Sure to come are the onshores which will be with us for the remainder of the weekend and well into the work week.  Secondary NE swell arrives late Monday into Tuesday and runs around 40-45 deg and could well be bigger than the inital pulse. This one will reach the Palm beaches and below.  Still another swell reaches us Thursday or so and likely lasts into Labor day weekend. One of these days the winds are bound to go lighter and eventually go offshore so stay tuned .

Besides the surf lots going on. Tonight Surfrider is hosting an open discussion of the Reefball project (held at the Miami Beach botanical garden) If you surf and care about our beaches and waves you should make it out to this one. Snacks and drinks will be provided . We also have a Dune restoration event on Saturday and a kickin after party (with music and spirits hosted by Barefoot wines) They know how to party and will be bringing peeps down from New York).

There you go

Enjoy
