Synopsis
Tuesday: NE winds and NE wind swell mixing with a little background bump for some messy waist high sets.
Looking ahead: Winds back off a little but still trend onshore for Wednesday. We will be looking at an ENE swell at around 8 sec with an ESE background bump, probably in the thigh to waist zone but there is a chance for something a little bigger if the wind fields line up. Surf drops off a notch for Thursday but it should still be ridable in the better spots with somewhat brisk ESE winds. Surf drops off on Friday and into the weekend with mostly local wind swell on tap.

Bryan and SurfGuru's predictions are his own observations!! He has to look at several models that all give different data then compare it to the buoys and historical data to decide what is going to happen every time. If you missed out on epic surf or a 12 second barrel, he's not responsible because he doesn't get paid enough or sometimes at all. So to help you and him out, always check the Florida Wave Models and other Florida surf forecast links below to see for yourself.

Always check the weather models, to see for yourself and learn to forecast the next swell... we'll post changes if needed... NOTE: Bryan's Predications are his own observations!! But he is not responsible if...
- you did not catch it offshore and glassy.
- you missed out on a 10 second barrel.
- you had to work yesterday and it was Stellar!
- you forgot to check with SurfGuru, DUH!
So what does all this mean? If it's flat, crank up the bikes, go fishing, go skateboarding or just watch some Anime! (seriously there is some good stuff there)
The Dawn Patrol is ready for the Swell to start, so "Come to the Source!" and check the Florida Surf Report!
