Chad caught the wave of the day for this swell, (which was in another photo gallery) but we are all impressed with his technique and ability of using no wax on his board and yet hugging this left for a fairly long ride. Image 1 of 3 in sequence. Photos by Oldwaverider

OK, IT’S NOW SHOWING OFFSHORE WINDS FOR WEDNESDAY MORNING UNTIL 10 AM.  SW around 5 to 8 switching around fast to NNW by 10 or 11 AM.   The Cape, CCB and Satellite models are showing the same thing for Wed. morn;  so we’ll see what happens 12 hours from now 🙂

That also means, that Wednesday showing 5.5 ft of swell at 10 seconds, means head high for us and 2 to 3 foot overhead faces in Satellite.

Thursday is showing offshore but the swell drops to waist to chest high instead of the size I mentioned last night below.

Back to last nights update below>>>

THE BEST YEAR OF WAVES CONTINUES……………:)   It’s hitting 10 feet at 11 seconds at the 120 a couple hours today.  The 20 mile buoy hit 9.5 feet at 10 seconds, so this swell is peaking in size and power for Monday.

Monday the waves should be chest to head high with sum rogue sets at the Cape, and in the morning, we may have winds less than 15 mph, while it brings in the rest of the swell.  Then by Monday late afternoon, the winds should drop off even more.    Satellite Beach should be a couple or three feet overhead at least.

Tuesday, the winds could be less than 8 mph out of the East in the morning, and will be chest to head high again at the Cape, and could have some really clean shape.  A couple feet overhead at least down South.

Wednesday size drops a little maybe a foot on the face, again with even lighter winds out of the East.

Thursday, is throwing fits, about when it may be offshore.  It was morning, and now, it’s showing around Noon when it goes SSW or SW, and then blows offshore till dark.   The size at the Cape, should be stomach to chest high glass,  and head high plus glass down South in Satellite Beach.   I won’t know the 80% accurate winds until Tuesday lunch time.

Friday waist high at the Cape and chest down South with offshore winds in the morning.  Chilly Friday morning, perhaps below 60°.

We ought to have at least 3 or 4 really fun days of waves in a row, at least Tuesday through Friday 🙂

Have a great week!

A LATE SATURDAY NIGHT UPDATE.  The storm just added another day to itself.  For now, the model for the big offshore day shifted to Thursday now, but we’ll see; it could switch back to Wednesday.  Below goes back to what I posted this morning, the other days hold the same, just Wednesday and Thursday may shift .

Another shameless display of surf photos taken of me on a day I was surfing TS Maria, 4rth street north.   The photos are from Tropical Storm Maria on September 15 2011, taken by my old surf and high school buddy Mike Melito.  He had taken an official day off work from Lakeland, so it was all legal like 🙂

The waves were waist to shoulder high that day, and I just did a 20 minute session in the water so Mike could get some shots of me, so I could come in and get some long overdue shots of Mike and also take some shots of my buddy Ken.

SURF UPDATE FOR US!  Well, it looks like Wednesday is shaping up to be the big glassy ground swell day, maybe Tuesday night, but by Monday night, I should know pretty clear.

And yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I’ll be back in the water after a month.

The swell is still building, it probably peaks in size on Monday in the 8 to 10 foot face range down South.

Saturday (today)  and Sunday it looks like chest high plus waves at the Cape and overhead down South in Satellite Beach. Winds mostly east in the 15 to 25 mph range both days.

Monday, as I said the swell peaks with 7.5 feet of swell at 10 seconds, so it should see some 8 to 10 foot faces, plus in Satellite.  The Cape ought to see some head high waves and some overhead sets, strong East SE winds in the 15 plus mph range.

Tuesday, size should be chest to shoulder high at the Cape with S to SE winds in the 10 to 12 mph range (still to far out to be accurate, but that’s what the models are showing),  and 7 to 9 foot faces in Satellite Beach.

Wednesday, we could have chest to shoulder high glass at the Cape, and shoulder to overhead glass in Satellite Beach.  The winds could range from SSW  to even NNW for the day as it wraps around quickly.

Thursday morning, size drops, but  should still have waist to shoulder high waves from up North to South respectively.

Enjoy the swell, and catch it at dead high tide during the choppy days, and the paddle out will be relatively easy, with cleaner shoulders.

Later,
