What an incredible superbowl. Congrats to the Nawlens , they pulled it off.  On the wave front we have a healthy NE swell right on schedule with NW winds this morning . If you have a chance get it soon as the winds are forecast to veer around to the NE. Tomorrow winds go Southerly and pick up. If the swell sticks around till Wed it could meet the ever elusive offshores but the swell is scheduled to drop off dramatically.  Anyhows , decent surf with a bump upcoast the early part of the week.

  A team of eco-surf activists had a plan. They bought a banner this afternoon, positioned themselves for the start of ESPN's Sports Center and when the lights came on...............thousands of dollars in free advertising for our own Surfrider Miami Chapter! Greg and Amy Gordon and crew on the ground and Wyatt in the control booth got these pics, video to follow.
Yeah that's right we're representing ANTI-OIL STYLE!

 Costa Greg and Amy with ESPN crew and THE COPS! WTF!!!

Not a bad January. Been in the ridable range every  week. Now things slow down a bit with no major swell source in the distant future.  Anyhoots there is a chance of ridables in the next few days beginning with a SE/S winds Sat (at least loggable maybe more). Winds switch to Sw pretty fast so that won't last.  Sunday winds go North up the Eastern coast and slowly turn NE. We may get a short shot of Northerly to NE windswell action but as we all know how reliable those are. There is a NE fetch setup off the Carolina's but it is a fast mover with low likelihood of swell hitting the Fla coast.  Half decent chance of Easterly w/c action the early part of next week with large High setting up over the Delmarva region. Further out next week not much happening. Still more than the dud of a year we had last year.

Nice waves this weekend locally.  Nothing to put in the history books but Fun indeed . This week starts out a little slow with no waves (ever) locally .  SE winds pickup late Wed into Thurs and swing to the S.  Should get us back into the ridable range. The Gulf low that had a nice NE fetch a few days ago doesn't look as good.  I wouldn't count it out and upcoast spots should recieve some sideband NE swell late Wed/Thursday. Very short lived as the low races into the Atlantic.  A better bet is a coastal low to develp off the Carolina's late this week into the weekend. This NE fetch looks much better than our current develping scenario.  Loks like Sunday/Monday will be the peak of this event. Winds are iffy with SE winds Sat turning to S Sunday and if the swell sticks around SW on Monday (as yet another front pushes it way thru).  Timing will obviously be of essence here to score the goods.  I really wish these systems would slow down . One of these days its going to happen.  All in all a pretty decent winter so far.

Don't forget this Thursday is the Whitman Historical Museum event. Google Map Link -- Not to be missed and you will come out stoked . Go surf first then come to downtown for the event.

Late but not least , support Surfrider. We have  huge plans for this year. Time to do some good for our community. Get involved and support.
