Florida Surf Forecast & Surfing Forecast Links

updated by Bryan Davis 1 day ago

Synopsis

Thursday: Thigh to waist high at 8 sec with a little 14 sec background bump mixing in for an occasional bigger set and lighter SE winds.

Looking ahead: Surf builds a little on Friday as the 12 sec background swell starts to fill in a bit more. Light South winds build into the teens and turn SE as the day goes on so morning might be your best bet.

Saturday will be the day to watch with thigh to waist high mixed swell from the E/ENE at 9-12 sec along with light offshore winds that switch SE in the afternoon and build into the teens. Nothing huge but should be fun and clean for at least the first half of the day.

Size drops off a notch for Sunday with offshore morning winds turning SE later in the day again.

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)
