UPDATED: November 13, 2024

<<WAVE REWIND<<
Wind finally died off and surf cleaned up Monday.

SURFCAST DISCUSSION
Wind picks back up behind a cold front on Wednesday, building in some windchop through the day. But it'll be short-lived, as the wind will turn more east and die down by Thursday. Another front coming Friday will have a low develop and deepen off the Carolinas on Friday, which should send some longer period swell down by late Friday through the weekend. Still a lot of uncertainty with this though but chances are increasing. Local winds will be onshore mostly, so there will be some chop on it.

DAILY SURFCAST SPECIFICS:

WEDNESDAY13: New blast of NE windchop builds in, knee/waist in the morning, building up to waist-chest high in the afternoon and drifty. Wind NE 20-25kts.
THURSDAY14: Wind lightens up and turns more east. Still some rideable surf in the waist high plus range, just less choppy and more swell-like. Wind East 10-15kts.
FRIDAY15: Wind lightens up and *possibly turns offshore in the morning, cleaning up the leftover swell, then some new, longer period swell will fill in in the afternoon. Waist high, building to chest high sets. Then some + sets in the afternoon as some of the new swell fills in a bit. Wind AM: west 5-10kts, PM: North 20kts.
SATURDAY16: Pulse of longer period swell pushes in and peaks. chest-head high+ sets. Some wind on it with a surge od NE wind behind the front. Very drifty. NNE to NE 15-20kts.
SUNDAY17: Fading but lingering longer period swell. Waist to chest or so. Some + sets still. Wind turns more ENE so maybe less drifty. ENE 10-15kts.
MONDAY18: Swell fades, knee-waist high leftovers, bigger upcoast. Lighter wind. Wind East to ESE 10kts.
TUESDAY19: Mostly Flat for south Florida but upcoast will continue to see some swell. Wind ESE 8-12kts

LONG RANGER SURFCAST

Still watching the tropics as Invest 99L/Sara will develop in the central Caribbean. It will hang down there a while before possibly moving north next week. Models still all over the place on where it will move north so nothing pinned down quite yet. After it passes a strong cold front will punch down and we could be looking at our first refraction swell! (21/22nd) Stay Tuned!
