Monday am: clean thigh looks fun

Update: just got out of the water & surf is still holding in the thigh to waist range. Super clean and fun on the longboard. Not much action for the shortboard unless you are 80-100lbs! Skim looks fun, a few guys on it early, coming in @ about waist also.

Sunday update

Sunday 8 am: chest + with clean conditions with a good current(east) towards P-cola. Waves are dumping between the piers and to the left of the boardwalk, while the right side looks a bit smaller but with better lines. Bars are still a little weird, a couple of dudes out on the left and one guy on the right side. It appears like it could be fun, a light drizzle and cold wind on the beach this morning. Skim looks fun @ about thigh to waist liners if you want to brave the cold & rain this AM.

Get it while you can Some of the pix below, I’ll try and update later!

BTW don’t forget about the ESA contest today @ the FWB pier, right side.

 

 

Tuesday’s word

Yep still flat…but there is hope on the horizon for this Sat. Building east swell. cross your fingers…legs…eyes…cross whatever you can!

Friday
Northeast winds 10 to 15 knots increasing to 20 to 25 knots after midnight. Seas building to 3 to 5 feet. Bays and coastal waterways rough. Chance of showers.
Saturday
Northeast winds around 25 knots decreasing to 15 to 20 knots in the evening…then becoming north after midnight. Seas 3 to 5 feet. Bays and coastal waterways rough. Chance of showers.

Wednesday AM sucker punch

Wednesday update: its flat!!! Arrrrghhh…The gulf never ceases to amaze me with its fickle fickleness…what the eff!!!

…skim looks fun though…& don’t be fooled that wave below was maybe knee high & maybe longboardable if you are desperate. PCB is still holding @ waist with bigger sets.

Sunday 11.08.09

Sunday am solid chest to head + clean, kinda closing out, with a healthy east drift. Northeast winds on it but  keeping it clean for now. Pictures make it look better than it is (in my opinion) but the size is there.  Nobody out @ 7:00AM. Skim is funky at about thigh + too(it was good on yesterday evenings’ tide).

Get it while you can the winds are forecast to pick up as IDA nears our coastline & the seas will be huge(probably unmanageable too). Does that mean a trip to Ft. Pickens?…PCB Pass?… Mexico Beach?…

Saturday AM report 11.07.09

Surf is picking up! It’s at a clean waist high with occasional bigger sets in the belly range. East/Northeast winds are on it and are going to be picking up throughout the day @ 15-20 mph with higher gusts. There seems to be a small right working off of the pier and the west sides looks good at this point. Who knows what the winds and current will do to it today but there will be surf for the next couple of days non-the-less.

As for right now it looks fun and only a few dudes on it. Updates later!
