Quick mid-swell update....
Waves continue at SoBe. A bit of a ESE windswell is showing on top of the North groundswell that comes through every few minutes. It's anywhere from knee to head high.
Swell should continue upcoast through the week, punctuated by a cold front coming through on Tuesday. The cold front will swing the wind more to the south, then southwest, west, all the way up to north on Wednesday. Interesting set up for a little shot of north swell with this cold front late Wednesday or Thursday, too.
The swell is decreasing, but nowhere near done. The winds going to go offshore. Have fun.

A cold front will pass through the area today with strong NW winds filling in behind it. This should create a good chance for some swell to come down in to the Miami area on Thursday. In addition to this cold front, there's a low moving off the NE coast that is forecast to sit and spin for a few days, which will spray the east coast of Florida with a good sized, groundswell for days on end. Look for the swell to start sniffing around maybe Friday evening, but really building on Saturday and Sunday. Looks to peak Sunday/Monday but stick around through 3/13 at LEAST 3/15. Size will be overhead at the peak, but good and rideable WELL into next week. Winds looks to be a bit of a concern now, as they are forecast to be NE at 10-15. Keep an eye on the flags...

A cold front will come through our area sometime on Thursday, so look for some increasing winds out of the south tomorrow and in to Wednesday. Not looking to get too big, but maybe a little rideable south windswell will show before the wind clocks north. This cold front doesnt look to have too much north swell potential, but on Saturday a stronger cold front enters the picture. This one has some punch behind it, so we are looking at strong northerly winds. Sunday morning probably has the best chance for better winds, but the swell should stick around all day. Looks to drop off fast for Monday...
So in short, Sunday looks promising. In the meantime, there might be a little bump to mess around with ahead of the front on Thursday.
