Check your favorite wave models.

Looks pretty big for 4 days out. Onshore winds of course, but maybe glass off afterwards.



.DISCUSSION...
...Significant High Seas and Surf Event Likely Late Week...

Thursday-Friday...As the ridge axis slides away, a strong cold front
will dig across the south on Thu, sending a northerly wind surge
across the local waters early Friday. As the front continues
southward, a tight pressure gradient will increase northeasterly
winds up to 20-25 kts with gusts to gale force. Seas will begin to
build quickly north to south on Friday up to 9-11 ft and up to 13 ft
in the Gulf Stream. A Small Craft Advisory will no doubt be
necessary late this week, with the potential for Gale products in
the offshore waters.

Plenty of swell at the Light this AM and the worst sandbars I've ever seen. And no, I'm not just bagging on it to keep people away, it truly sucked; 3 to 4, glassy and not a wave to be ridden from O-club to Hangars.

I hear some of the new sand spots are okay - Satellite, but that might be lies.

Not good where I was at

Sitting in the water waiting, waiting, waiting, for one that will feel a bottom and break.

It's time to do some sand recon

This should move some sand around THURSDAY NIGHT North winds 15 to 20 knots increasing to 20 to 25 knots after midnight. Seas 6 to 8 feet. Chance of showers. FRIDAY North winds 20 to 25 knots. Seas 8 to 11 feet. Showers likely. FRIDAY NIGHT Northeast winds 20 to 25 knots diminishing to 15 to 20 knots after midnight. Seas 9 to 12 feet. Chance of showers. SATURDAY Northeast winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 8 to 11 feet. Chance of showers.

Anybody know what happen to Station 41113 - Cape Canaveral Nearshore, FL (143) ??


-------------------------
Time and tide wait for no one.....

Cole, I surfed with a few friends at Coconuts yesterday and the day before. At higher tide pretty fun. No ditch, nice sandbar, a bit of dynamics to the beach there.

I looked down there and wondered. Slater has a perfect bar at 1 foot, anything larger maxes out. lol

I was right.

You had me at Big!

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

^^ hey Daner you going to the spot for the big chop? 9-12 ft sounds like a go! See you there

Fun near Paradise. Big floaty board though. Plenty of LIFE around!!! Had a great view of about a-6' cruiser. Wonder if its was Cole's buddy?

Please let a gale form...Really need some easy, mellow fun drops like this...Zero or Hero...some much fun, just don't bring your favorite board...Daner?..You down? . .

Will be happy to take photos, scrubbed of locational data.

Magicseeweed saying peaking saturday 12.5 feet 12 seconds w/ 25 knot onshores. Viva la VAS!

Surfline shows about the same height south at least to Palm Beach Co., but shrinking north of Brevard.

Windy shows the wind wave event moving north-south. Friday would be the day for NSB

Thanks for the read! Slater way baby!

National Weather Service has its outlook and advisory up for Friday and Saturday.

If you wanted wind, you got it.

Southbound Suarez: winds offshore... not here

Edited: 02/21/2020 at 05:41 AM by Plan B

I think everyone went to Publix this afternoon.

8AM Sat. wind looks like maybe N 17 knots (Windy, European model and GFS), but NW according to NAM model

Edited: 02/21/2020 at 06:42 PM by ww

40 knots at the 20 miler. Nothing like a little tropical storm breeze in February.

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

Hey WW and Daner packing up and going surfing at the "border" ... hope to see you there..leaving now...

Edited: 02/22/2020 at 04:16 AM by SurferMic

One intrepid bodyboarder at Wabasso, who agreed that conditions were worthless. I may have half-decent video. I picked up a a New Jersey surfer who had drifted well south of Ponce Park from Spessard Holland Park. He also concurred that conditions were worthless.

Things are looking slightly cleaner as we approach low tide. Sunday AM looks promising.

Edited: 02/22/2020 at 09:33 AM by ww

A little Wabasso video. Youtube's processing rendered it unwatchable, so Vimeo. The real news at Wabasso was the near lack of usable surf.

Tide really made a dif yesterday I guess, early AM was real challenging, Overhead with a backwash A friend and I went in at the corner...fast drift, Way dif than lowtide I guess, pic is hard to judge w/ none out...sorry I missed you need to thank you in person for the surf trunks...6am here winds light N/NW hoping its good out front

Edited: 02/23/2020 at 04:52 AM by SurferMic

Cocoa Beach is looking kinda fun, but the paddle looks relentless. Four feet, plus some on the sets, but the interval is about as tight as as gets. 40 duck-dives to the outside, if you time it right.

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

Edited: 02/23/2020 at 08:31 AM by Cole

N wind 21-23 mph in St. Aug

40 duck-dives



Had to go north...
... still had plenty of size.

Killer paddleout. Killer waves. Melbourne Beach area.

BW at low to incoming was brutal paddleout. Lots of closeouts. Sat outside and got a couple of the sets that would crumble to let you in to get some speed to do something worthwhile.

So fun yesterday, guess I got lucky as it was not a hard paddle out just a long one, was able to ditch the full suit which was a bonus, good friends plenty of sets, open faces...Went out this AM early 650ish, was still real fun, couldn't tell from the beach but it was still solid head high sets on the outside, a bit soft due to the high tide but glassy w/ no wind (where was everyone?)...I think it is dropping and the wind is picking up ... 1st light was the call today. What's this next front going to bring?

JP was sweet yesterday

Hoping for a repeat of yesterday with less size but NO indi was not working this AM on the outside, just capping and backing off...less water/more swell needed...BUT the waves that jacked up on the outside eventually made it to the shorebreak unbroken, so the shorebreak was real fun...really good if you are grom sized, nice sunrise..water a bit colder, back in the full suit, fun enough to start the workday...4 days of surf in a row, no complaints...Next up will be the Panhandle next week for any sizable surf (Head hi+ S Swell) water is usually much colder there this time of year (where's my booties, haven't used them inna' while) or maybe NSI for the short new NE swell event. Don't think S. FL will get any big Elephants headed S. on Thurs/Fri just baby ones.

Another round of fun at the nearby local shorey this weekend (I hope), not sure if my friend will go again, he was kinda spooked from last weekend; made it but never got a wave, he just wanted to get back to land..It was a true Gale though , this weekend will be less size, bummer, darn high tide in early AM again which always makes a huge difference it seems. Waiting...

Potential for solid groundswell..... junked up by bad winds. I havent surfed in a longtime due to a ruptured eardrum. I got a double new stick surf jinx though..... 6-1 & 5-10. . :
