Sunday am and still going in WFL.
Sunday 9am 8/28: Lots of great reports coming in the comments. Both coasts had fun surf yesterday. Knee to thigh in St Pete this am, bigger at the best c-front spots probably waist high. It will fade later today all though the tide switch could help. 1ft from the west on Monday so try and find some waves today. Tuesday and Wednesday could see a 1ft South swell as a tropical waves passes to the south but it does not look ridable, good skim. Have a great week.

great picture! cant wait to surf a bit! Thanks for the updates throughout MW
Thanks Jeff! are you going to the EC or staying back?
Good ole Allstate is offering unlimited overtime due to the hurricane damage claims i will be receiving. The $$ is keeping me on this coast. I figured work a fast 10 hours friday saturday and sunday on top of my 45 hour work week then head to Trusty N county and score for a bit. I would make it over but im trying to keep the priorities in line… I dont knwo how much more abuse the bat you sold me can handle.. I hope you score !
I understand Jeff. Sometimes you have to sacrifice surf for the bigger picture. If you need a new custom bat let me know I can hook you up.
wow glad you made it through ok and thanks for the ec forecast i am really pumped, brings back memories of hurricane bill when there were 8-10′ sets coming through but this time maybe there will be stiffer offshores
How big is it in those Domes pictures Micah …??
I am still debating heading East on Saturday or staying here … I have the weekend off …
maybe waist high Rob, it grew in size in the afternoon, got biggest before dark. A couple bombs like shoulder high, full on tubes like the pic. The rights would bowl and pitch.
Really enjoyed the pics and write-up on Hurricane Irene this morning. I’m tied to the porch so it’s waves on the Gulf side for me whatever they may be
Evy try Saturday am at your favorite spot
Really Bro? By the looks of the pics, it’s hard to tell how far out it was breaking. I was thinking it might be MUCH larger then that.
wheres the best place i should go one the east coast should i go north up by jax or down by sebastian ?
I scored near NSB on a similar setup not the inlet, seek and ye shall find
I will take you up on that offer in the near future Micah! Thanks!! Im bummed i snapped the macro fish so fast….. damn head high in 3ft of water SK dumpers haha!!
Ready…I am ready, count down till Sat
Walton Rocks near PT ST Lucie will be holding . if not Jetty Park on SAT hope you budgeted gas in to your budget. RC’s will be all time on SUNDAY at some point.
Got that STOKE stuck in my stomach>>>
the wind just kicked in here in tampa – you can feel the energy from this thing all the way here. Feel bad for the folks north on the east coast – first an earthquake now this.
does playalinda work on a setup like this?
si senyor
Like a kid at Xmas…so excited for the next 2 days on the Coast! Real waves!
I can’t make the Friday size, but will be East for the clean Sat ground swell. Truck is already packed, with out the fish so I can get a little warm up here after work(hopefully) tomorrow.
Wind @5mph – still quiet…
What’s the chances of anything decent left EC for sunday? So many times after big swell even what would be decent doesn’t work after all the sand has shifted. On duty watching the boy tomorrow while the wife goes to training.
any bump in the gulf yet? south of the bay?
does not look like it
sunday looks like small leftovers waist high and glassy nsb
No bump quite yet. Wind picked up within the last hour though … 15 mph and gusty out of the NNW fyi
Anyone have a viz?
Yeah … Maaaaaaybe …. kinda sorta … jusssst under knee high … I wouldn’t say it’s rideable.
SOPINE report
@ cw…Some reports out there say there will be something left for Sunday on the EC.
Saturday for me.
Figured.. Waiting for the tide to come in
barely ride able mid day, – dawn patrol tomorrow
G-Morning, heading out b/4 the wind wakes up
buena idea
it is still flat here in PR. we are waiting till tomorrow night and Monday for the kickback. seeing the ec going off is amazing!
6-10 w/ offshores all day yesterday @ Whitey’s! Thick lips, hollow take offs and low crowds. Epic!
was browsing the reports since I’m stuck in the house till 11, what’s up with surfline reports on the east coast – they are calling for 1 – 2 ft surf at a bunch of spots… someone must be on vacation or out surfing.
Lunar activity is expected to play a large role in influencing the storm’s impact on the coast. Irene will arrive at both perigee, when the Moon’s elliptical orbit brings it closest to the Earth, and the new moon, when the Moon and sun are aligned on the same side of our planet. Both the Moon’s position and phase will intensify gravitational effects on the tides, causing greater tidal ranges.
Got my rides!!!! felt like a flea in the sea – INTENSE RIP CURRENTS – but I managed to get what I went out for and I am smiling very contently at the moment….. I want more
Well, I know that all eyes are on the EC today, but here at home – for those of us who stayed – we managed to nab some pretty fun nugs. Not going to lie … it was fun!
got a big grin on my face – wind is really ripping right now
EC rocked today somewhere north of vero beach……
surfed nsb dawn patrol finished off south of the skyway this afternoon killer day
surfed South of Melbourne today and it was firing, especialy in the early morning. Long lefts, and barreling rights. I am officialy WHOOPED and going to sleep for the next 36 hours LOL. But in reality i have stuff to do around the house, and if the waves are going to be doing something over here I might have to go out.
going out – looking for more
^^^ Yep … we have knee to possibly waist high waves in south Pinellas from the looks of it on the cams.
Surfed north of the cape yesterday and it was incredible. Easily top 5 all time. It was hard to leave….
awesome! how shacked did you get Heath?
N county was solid yesterday! good times!
S.J. was a blast yesterday evening! Tide too high now, but maybe decent this evening as well…
casa de espanol was soo good yesterday! A little overhead and top to bottom super thick tubes… Some of the sickest barrels of my life, but tough to make! Its been awhile since I’d seen surf that good in florida
Sooooooo shacked!!! Still can’t get the grin or the pictures out of my head. I think there where more west coast crew then east which made for a better session…
Surfed that spot today … just got back … knee to thigh … yawn
\
melbourne area just went off yesterday and after 11 am it just got ridiculous as the tide was slowly going out – long, steep walls and makeable barrels one after another… so tired on the drive home
up early – gonna scrounge for leftovers
e.alland- Are you talking about searching for leftovers east-side or on this side?
I know that there was a little bump coming in on both coasts Monday and was just wondering which coast you were referring to.
LOL… I just realized that what I am asking only happens once every few years if we are lucky how it turned out last weekend. Great surf on the EC and a rideable wave gulf-side for a few days from the same system which stayed in the Atlantic. Just can’t beat that!
