      Here’s several photos that summarize the 23-24 winter season.
      It was a lot of waves. Thank you for the accurate forecasts.

    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.

      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

      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 ????

    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.
