Posted June 15th, 2010 01:37 PMDUNE RESTORATION SATURDAY AT 10 AM
Surfrider Foundation will provide tools, refreshments and breakfast of doughnuts, coffee and banannas along with the best water in South Florida-no kidding.
Dune restorations are a great way to have a lasting impact on the coast by removing invasive exotics and planting native plants.
Please, we need volunteers AND if volunteer at the dune restoration, you get a ticket to the surf party of the year,
SURFRIDER FOUNDATION'S BAREFOOT WINE SURF PARTY.
Without a ticket from the dune restoration you may well NOT get in.

Paddle 4 People is a paddleboard race started by Miami locals to support Miami locals. All proceeds go to Camillus house, which is the leading organization aiding in the rehabilitation of the homeless people of Miami. All proceeds. 100%. Paddle 4 People is more than a race. It is an initiative by Miami locals to do something for their community in a simple and powerful way.
This event is exclusive to people who want to help others. We do not need politicians for change, we are capable of much more.
You should get involved by visiting http://www.paddle4people.com/
If you have never paddleboarded in your life, or do not have any skills I have good news for you!
Paddleboard clinics, where you will learn or refine those skills, are happening after the race. Make any kind of donation, and learn to paddle!

Posted June 3rd, 2010 03:14 PMOil Floating to the Keys
KEY WEST, Fla. -- Coast Guard pollution investigators from Sector Key West are currently responding to reports of an oily substance and tar balls near Duck Key, Fla., Long Key, Fla., and Grassy Key, Fla.
Continued surveillance is part of the ongoing assessment effort to monitor the progress of the Deepwater Horizon/BP oil spill. While the Coast Guard aggressively responds to all reports of pollution, it will require sampling and testing to determine if any pollution is related to the Deepwater Horizon/BP oil spill. To date, none of the previous reports have been related. Click here to view the daily National Oceanic Atmospheric Association oil spill trajectory forecasts.

As for waves, looking pretty good for E/NE swell/chop starting early in the week. latest model runs have the low moving slowly towards Burmuda and setting up a very nice E/NE fetch and a more NE fetch mid to late week. Too bad no forecast for offshores but its not out of the question (especially lower on down the state) Palm beaches will likely get something but doesn't look too good for down here. Waves slated to start Mon , Peak Wed and drop off by Fri. Still alot of speculation and the models have to get this right. Not bad to an early start of the season.
Enjoy
