Hello 2nd light Familia!

Please help a fellow "inlander \ 2ndlighter" out my friends..

It is my 44th time around the sun this coming Thursday, and I have the day scheduled off work to really just be NOT at work.. But my MAIN desire for my bday would be to surf! (Life screwed me over this weekend and I wasn't able to get ANY of that sweet lil longboard swell that past this weekend )

Sooo, all my "go to" forecasters are not really updating this week for some strange reason..

But MSW says "DO IT"..

Surfline says "uhm Maybe do it?"

Bob says "Mid week maybe?!"

And NOBODY else is doing any updates today.. The St. Augie Dude "Dean" has been stating since last week that there will be swell sometime this week, but he inst updating today either.. My main source for the inside scoop Mr. Tipp Time hast updated since last Friday (I've been MURDERING the refresh button on his site every house on the hour but.. ).. (Usually means he is on a surf trip!)

so I am SUPER TORN..

Does anybody see waves showing for tomorrow? I am considering taking Tuesday off instead, and then just working on my bday ("YUCK!!") but if it means i can get a few sliders, i will be STOKED enough to make being at work on my born day "acceptable" (hahaha)

But please can ANYONE with any inside scoop (or even an educated guess) please add a YAY, or a NEY! for going tomorrow?

Thanks in advanced,
Long_flaco1

If you want to burn a vacation day because it's your B-day, then have fun...... If you're going to do it for the "surf", mo bettah save those days for sept/oct. Happy B-day.

NHC just put the odds at 60% Barry forms on our door step within 48 hrs. Quite a change in their forecast from the last one. GOES 16 imagery is looking promising too. And NOAA says 2 to 3' with S winds tomorrow, then back down to 2' Tuesday and Wednesday. But Thursday it's 2 to 3 again with light west winds. Best indicator of all time though is my ex-wife. She would always get hiccups just before a long flat spell would break. She still calls me when the hiccups start and cusses me out. Since I haven't heard from her today I'd say Thursday's the day. Happy Birthday!

Big change from this morning.... but it's so close that I'm not really expecting much simply due to the location of the fetch. I am going out of town fri-mon so best chance for waves may be then

winds

Too close.

Too many Bahamas in the way.

Too south wind.

Too Florida.

Secret Inlet for a few hours.

-------------------------
I was right.

But Outer Banks might be on offer.

Or the south facing Atlantic Beach, though the wind might be wrong.

-------------------------
I was right.

The 20 mile buoy is 2.6 at 8 with the swell from the east and a light north east wind gusting to around 6 knots.

The 120 is victory at sea - 25 knots plus, but going the wrong direction.

-------------------------
I was right.

Please define rock'in this morn'n I spent most of session watching the pelicans go fishing.

LOL.... I gave a surf lesson to 2 stoked little girls who surfed for the first time and were "charging" the "rockin" waves by the end of it..... some clean little zippers at first, then after I grabbed one of the softops LBs and caught a few the wind turned onshore.

Anyplace south of anywhere you weren't~ Drop'n tide, chest high mid-break airdrops to inside drainers onto dry sand. Florida level rock'in mate Next morning was the best shaped under 4' I can remember maybe ever~ 2 really fun double session days! 'specially for being so outtasurfshape~ FastfastFUNfun!

Chest high shore pound glad that you scored. I was in Indialantic a few knee/thigh high waves. "Anyplace south of anywhere you weren't" is a bit of a stretch. Small swell like that is all timing and location I was at the wrong beach.

I know. It was just break'n hard at a good shallow hitide shorepound bar )!

Break'n hard airdrops inside drainers dam you scored big!

#yessssssss!!!!

Zeus- Barry? Zeus- Tomorrow is Tuesday.

Replace turf grass with native plants that don't need irrigation and synthetic fertilizers or chemicals that can go into our waterways and ocean

The good news is that it's going to be clean with good winds , the bad news is going to be very small same as today but with crappy short period

Tuesday more than likely will not be good. South winds are predicted in the morning 10-15 knots, then SW and stronger into the afternoon. That 'possible' tropical depression looks to fiz out as it move us the coast. bringing windy and rainy weather. But, who knows. surf forecasting is iffy.

.MARINE...
Tonight...Low pressure will lift north just offshore the Treasure
coast overnight and near the Cape by sunrise. Increasing
southerly flow 15-20 knots over the southern offshore zone so have
put up a Caution headline there. Seas will build slightly to 3 ft
with 2 ft elsewhere. Expect a high coverage of showers and
thunderstorms over the southern waters.

Tuesday-Friday...The Atlantic high pressure ridge will locally
weaken as it shifts south and east as a weak frontal trough locates
over north Florida. Also, a weak low will continue to lift north
away from the area Tuesday aftn. Offshore flow will setup later
this week and freshen from the southwest. This will allow storms
to move offshore during the afternoon and evening each day.

South winds 5 to 10 knots increasing to 10 to 15 knots Tuesday
becoming mainly southwest at 10 knots the remainder of the week.
Seas 1-3 feet. Winds and seas below cautionary thresholds, but winds
and seas will be higher near scattered to numerous showers and
storms.

too close.... no fetch.... brief period of possibly clean whale fart "waves".... and some rain... but I would really like to ride a board that's not 9-6 for a change

Flatski tomorrow.

-------------------------

Waiting for waves is ok......most people spend their lives waiting for nothing.

Good looking out 2ndlight fam!

Hope I'm wrong, but this storm's setup reminds me of so many of the Gulf Coast storms; when I lived there. Too close and heading the wrong way for much to happen. At least for tomorrow. Maybe a little sliders later in the week though.

Happy Birthday, you got waves

I didnt go from lookin at yesterday evening responses.. #iblewit #fail lol.. all good though mang.. Concrete wave after work should get me back to a "happyplace"

^^^ you heading to the Sat Bch SK8 park or Cocoa bch? Lunch time report....wind was perfect, fun 1-2ft (knee to the occasional waist), rights throwing out micro barrels, lefts were harder to find a shoulder as the angle was SE but found a few long left runners...Caught about 20 waves in 1 hour, shocked how well the shape was out front, as our beach usually does not throw out much...impressive shape ..could have been in the tube w/ a body board or hand plane...
