QUICK GLANCE -Our surf is down but expecting fun surf especially in PBC Tuesday/Wednesday. Details below. Below: PBC 9:00 AM)
LOOKING FORWARD
Things are looking interesting middle of this week (Tuesday-Thursday time frame) as a Low pressure spins up off the Mid-Atlantic U.S. As this Low pressure moves offshore and High pressure fills in behind, we see a nice fetch of NE winds form off the Southeast US. This fetch will send some fun size surf for most of Florida, and this will reach PARTS of our region. Expect mid-period NE windswell. Local winds are looking favorable and much more friendly than the last few blown out swells with poor conditions. PBC seems like a very safe bet with the most size and consistency in North PBC – but expect this to filter down through most of Palm Beach. Broward, especially North, should see some fun size surf. Miami-Dade is going to be borderline but do expect some surf to make it down – albeit smaller than Broward and much smaller than PBC.
By Tuesday our NE swell fills in as indicated by the NWS Marine Forecast (For Jupiter – Deerfield Beach Waters) reflecting: MON NIGHT: NE 3 ft at 10 seconds…TUE/TUE NIGHT Wave Detail: N 5 ft at 8 seconds….E winds around 10 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft, occasionally to 6 ft. Wave Detail: NE 5 ft at 8 seconds. This is promising as our local winds look favorable with light East winds with pockets of variable winds possible making for good, friendly conditions with fun size surf. Again, biggest in North part of the region with less and less swell reaching down South.
Wednesday we see continued fun size surf. Exact size depends how well we hold over Tuesday night. Most size will remain in North PBC with great conditions across the South Florida region – with very light East/SE winds. Another day to target a surf for sure. Thursday we hang on to surf but would focus on PBC and North for the best options as down south likely is trickling way down by this point. Favorable conditions continue with light local winds and even offshore winds across the region.
I’d heavily target a surf on Tuesday and Wednesday, especially in Palm Beach County. Looks like a fun round of surf with warm weather and late-season. We don’t get too many of these opportunities so go get some!! Thanks for your support! Hurricane Season is 36 days away. — Cam
