Good pattern for May.
Fun swell Sunday PM. Pics by Al Barbour.
Sat 8am Why are you not out surfing? What is it like to live somewhere that has waves every day? What’s up GC? WEEKEND SURF!! MORE ON THE WAY!!
St Pete Monday afternoon.
Need an attorney that understands you? Check in with Scott.
May does not usually have surf but sometimes it gets fun. May 2024 was an anomaly with fun southern gulf swell for days mid month…
Friday? Gulf Coast Classics: Kep during a good WFL spring. May Day 05′. Photo: M-Dub.
May 1st 2023 the last real waves, right? Big front made for WFL surf that totally had el nino on it… This is a great shot- The wave may not be huge but it looks so fun and to be in the hook racing the lip is the best feeling and that’s why we surf! Photo from the awesome JSarasota who gave me permission to post with credit, thanks!
Caribbean summer WX, flamboyan trees are stoked. If you make it to PR this summer hopefully Isabela has a wave, hit me up…
comments on? Test? Is el nino over check back Monday am, say it aint so…
saturday am had a very brief window of knee to stomach/rare chest wedgy glassy nugs. all i got during that event but im just glad to be in a good new job,
better apartment and that my arms healing. cheers.
Here’s several photos that summarize the 23-24 winter season.
It was a lot of waves. Thank you for the accurate forecasts.
Thanks for providing the best surf forecasts!Here’s a few from
the South Jetty
been super busy Im sorry Ill post the pics soon… watching a little weather and weak front Monday and Tuesday next week slightly better than Monday but not waves yet, check back
My winter take was more surfing than normal. Partially due to what I believe was consistency in the wave department and lighter work responsibilities than years past.
Caught a handful of days this year I couldn’t have in years past. Ranked up there as best year for me in a while.
nws marine forecasts now show a more detailed, yet still wonky, wave analysis. just fyi…
oh wow i see it… thanks for the heads up hd, it’s on the NWS marine forecast for coastal waters, it’s called Wave Detail… offshore forecast does not have it. coastal forecast has 2ft at 5 tomorrow, hopefully a log wave mid morning at south swell spots. what we really need is a better wave model
Gotta convince Levi to program a model on tropical tidbits. Maybe a colab opportunity there.
thats a great idea!!
you guys ready to surf this week? forecast coming…
Who turned on the heat? 90 degrees today and the heat index showed 106 on my phone! I was burning up in the water today and it’s only the beginning of May. Man, I miss winter ????
Looks like Rob Bain
Legendary session today at the secret spot in Pinellas county. Not huge, but so fun. Where was the wind? 2 hours of what can only be called “too glassy” where the waves are indistinguishable from the overcast sky. Definitely felt some 8 second period in there and all of that garbage sand they trucked in and dumped on the beach is finally getting groomed into decent bars.
The last two mornings at sunset have been *chefs kiss* !!!! So surprising! No crowds. No winds. Good waves. Special direction and period. Just a memorable couple days.
so glad your scoring guys, I watched your video report on IG stories Eric @caloosa thanks for the update, sounds rad!! keep an eye on the weekend, more swell headed in…
report… ‘we got really fun waves at **** wed and thurs. Wed got clean mid am after storms for a few hrs, chest sets. Yesterday was clean all day until about 230, shoulder sets in am, then dropped to chest sets about 10am. Really good conditions’.
finally got to paddle out this am and had some fun wedgy lines knee to rib w some punch. here comes a flat spell…
got this one: “Great forecasting by the way! We have been scoring waste to shoulder high super fun waves at ******* all weekend!”
Surfed six days in a row in May! Fun waves, good people. Give it up to Micah for keeping us on it. Venmo/Paypal for the homie!!
