Forecast from bradswells
Posted April 9th, 2013 10:30 AMSurf Forecast 4-9-2013
There's a weak cold front heading in to our area. The front looks to stall and become diffuse before heading further south. All in all, not a great wavemaker. There should be some windswell, through the middle of the week but not much above knee or thigh-high unless the winds blow harder than forecast. It's pretty much east now, but should trend more to the south as we go through the week.
As of now, there's a sub-knee high wave showing at SoBe. There could be some fun slides for longer boards in the coming days, depending on tide/wind patterns. Nice out, with a chance of little waves. Not too bad.

This front should be bringing some swell down our way. It should start showing later tonight and into tomorrow. It looks to be strongest late Tuesday and in to the evening. Wednesday morning could also see some swell. Hard to predict size, I'm guessing we'll see some chest+ sets during the peak. I'm hoping that the winds keep some westerly component as forecast so we have some clean conditions when it's hitting.
