Friday: 3-5 feet with choppy conditions.

T.S. Bonnie looks to move to the South of us and into the Gulf Friday and into Saturday. We should see stronger onshore winds. This in turn should pick the surf up but keep it in super choppy conditions.

Swell declines back to 2-3 feet into Sunday. Local winds look to keep blowing onshore and provide us with small choppy surf into early next week.

  Tuesday: Continued 2-3 feet and Choppy surf.
Tuesday: 2-3 feet and choppy surf.

Continued mix of SE wind and ground swell looks to keep coming in the next several days. The surf has been bigger North of the Cape but South should see 2-3 feet with choppy conditions.

This same swell looks to last all week and get bigger into Thursday and the weekend. Tuesday morning model runs are showing that tropical wave that is currently near Puerto Rico to turn into a weak tropical depression or storm. Models differ on tracking and strength, however, this system bears watching.

We should see an uptick on swell size going into Thursday with whatever storm system is out there. Size depends on how much more it strengthens. We could be looking at 6 foot plus surf towards the end of the week if it does turn into a tropical storm. If not, then smaller 3-4 feet looks to happen on Thursday and into the weekend.

E-SE continued choppy surf for Tuesday and Wednesday with it getting bigger into Thursday. Keep an eye on that possible storm coming our way. One model has it coming into Central Florida on Saturday. Others have it moving South of Florida and near Cuba.

Next update Wednesday morning.

  Monday: continued 2-3 feet choppy surf
Monday: continued 2-3 feet in choppy conditions.

It looks like we will have the same conditions all week with various sizes. A tropical wave moved through South Florida on Sunday and another one looks to approach Florida by mid-week. These are masses of tropical weather that move East to West. They push swell out in front of the weather system. These tropical waves coupled with SE trade winds look to keep us in rideable surf all week.

Size looks to hover around 2-3 feet with bigger surf North of the Cape.

You can see the positioning of the tropical waves on this graph.

Local wind looks to remain blowing onshore all week and keeping it semi-choppy in the morning and choppy in the afternoon.

No major swell makers are showing in the long range forecast.

  Tuesday: small/flat
Tuesday: small/flat

A small East-SE swell looks to arrive late Wednesday and get bigger into Thursday and Friday. This is from the SE trade winds from the bottom half of the Bermuda High. A long stretch of Easterly winds with a tropical wave moving along with it looks to bump the surf up. Size looks to be around 2-3 feet on Thursday and Friday.

Swell period models keep that E-SE trade wind swell going into the weekend and early next week. It looks like we will have small rideable waves on Thursday and lasting for a few days! Surf will be bigger North of the Cape due to the Bahama Shadow.

Small/flat and looking for a bump up into Thursday.

Next update Wednesday night.

Not much of any swell for early this week.

Virtual buoys are showing a ramp up of swell by Thursday and lasting into the weekend. Swell Period models shows East-SE ground swell arriving late Wednesday and getting bigger Thursday/Friday. Size looks to stay on the small side but it could give us rideable waves towards the end of the week.

Next update Tuesday morning.

  Wednesday: 2-3 feet in semi-choppy conditions.
Wednesday: 2-3 feet semi-chop.

The Canaveral buoys have jumped up this Wednesday morning. There should be 2-3 feet surf today. Winds look to blow onshore and chop it out.

This new swell should last into Thursday but probably drop in size into the weekend. There is a chance for offshore winds on Thursday morning.

No swells are in the mid to long range forecast. Basically other than Wednesday's peak it looks to drop back down to small/flat for the next few days. There may be a very small longboard wave but don't expect much after today.

Next update Thursday night.

  Saturday: 2-3 feet in building new NE wind swell.
Saturday: 2-3 feet, NE swell, choppy conditions.

Surf looks to build into Saturday afternoon and Sunday. A High Pressure system is moving off the SE States and providing a long NE wind fetch into Central Florida. This should keep us in rideable surf for the next couple of days. Sunday looks a tad bigger around 2-4 feet.

Saturday morning model runs are showing a weak low pressure form directly East of us on Monday/Tuesday. It is difficult to say if this will happen or not, but it is something to watch.

Small choppy wind swell for Saturday and building into Sunday. Surf should remain into Monday around the same size.

Next update Sunday morning.

  Thursday: Small surf
Thursday: Small surf, 1-2 feet in very small swell.

It looks like we will get a small pick up into the weekend.

We have seen a small trace swell the past few days from the SE trade winds. This looks to continue for the next several days.

Also, a weak low looks to form between Hatteras and Bermuda on Friday/Saturday. A High Pressure to its North looks to provide an extra boost of NE winds. This system looks to send in a small NE swell for late Saturday and into Sunday. Size looks to be around 2-3 feet.

Models are hinting that another low will form near Florida next week. However, NWS has been saying that these lows are spurious and probably won't happen. However, keep checking those long range models. Eventually tropical storms will be popping up around us.

Really small surf for the next couple of days. Looking for small NE swell to fill in on Sunday.

Next update Friday night.

  Tuesday: 1-2 feet in small swell.
Tuesday: 1-2 feet in small swell.

There might be a small wave to be found but expect super small conditions for the next few days.

Alex looks to move into the Mexico/Texas area.

Only small SE trade wind swell looks to happen this week. Canaveral buoys show a small swell Tuesday morning. Check the best small wave spots and best tides. Probably bigger North of the Cape.

For the weekend, the previous swell mentioned last time looked to be a fluke. Models have corrected themselves and no low pressure looks to form off the coast. We may still see something for the weekend. But, not what was showing the past few days.

Small/flat through the week. Possible small surf for the weekend.

Next update Wednesday morning.

  Monday: small/flat
Monday: small/flat

Mostly small to flat surf for the next few days.

There is a possible swell maker in the long range forecast. The models have been showing a mysterious low pressure system form off the SE Coast late in the week/weekend. If this happens it looks to bring big NE swells for next weekend. However, it is a long time away so the models may be off.

Alex looks to move into the Gulf and eventually run into Mexico and/or Texas. Check the NHC updates if you are in the path of this storm. Alex looks to turn into a Hurricane either on Monday or Tuesday.

A secondary low pressure looks to form off the Georgia Coast late in the week. Sunday model runs show this to be an interesting feature. Hopefully it will form and send in bigger surf.

Small to flat through the week. Very small SE trade wind swell looks to be intermittent through the week. It may be rideable at the best small wave spots and the best tides.

Next update Monday night.
