Monday WFL 6am Details- This am on the cams before dawn, looks waist high plus to me with side shore winds. Should be NW waves all day. WX sites reporting N, NNW and NNE wind all over the place… Usually that is side on but south facers would be offshore this am, jetties protected. Tide is low but forecast to push in after lunch so that may be the best time for a chilly surf. Future: A big low is forecast to bring lots of rain to WFL late tomorrow. Wednesday could see a knee to thigh wave down south in the afternoon but not too much is expected with this low bc the winds are NE. Some downhill flow on Friday may bring small waves. We will watch Friday to see if it goes notch up. Try and surf today…

Waves were really fun this morning. Very suprised. waist to rib and super clean just rifling south swell with no wind
How is the water quality?
Cleaned up nice in the last week.
Clearer and no smell in TI.
i took off yesterday because it looked surprisingly in-line variables wise and it was. thigh to stomach w/ freak shoulder sets. consistent and glassy with some punch on the good ones. managed a couple multi turn waves and some other long rides. water had a slight poo poo smell and red tide tinge at times w/ some minor irritation locally but that should get flushed out after this secondary front…hopefully…
Fun waves in Sarasota County this am. Solid chest high sets thumping the new sandbars and the shoal lighting up too for the LBs. Semi clean with the North wind but the water was semi dirty, red tide-ish but not coughing or eyes burning.
thanks for the reports guys more waves today!
Surfed a few hours yesterday morning while the wind was offshore. Short board able and very fun. Not too many people either since access is limited! Caught some great ones! Went out this morning and did 8 drifts and again, some fun ones to be had! Sometimes you just gotta get out there and try!
i paddled out at dp on sand key (not the park, im not walkin that far in this cold) . there were waves from all directions with a mostly west wnw tilt. it struggled a little in the wind and after a big low tide/fading groundswell. a few solid chest plus pitchers w workable lines and walls. neck got stiff after a while and i threw in the towel.
el niño esque front…one last hurrah…cant wait till the park opens it wuda been macking there for a minute…cheerz…
I couldn’t get out in the morning but I checked Minnesota and the pier and both looked like they were still getting solid thigh to waist high waves even at 1:00 p.m. the wind was kind of sideshore but ultimately it looked pretty manageable and fun.
Fun waves yesterday, some solid waist+ sets and the NW windswell. Med-Heavy Red Tide chased me out of the water in Sarasota???????? my eyes…..my eyes!!!!
sekret spot reopens dec 21. hallelujah!
that’s today!! send pics info@aurasurf.com
i was too sick to go sadly^ . fortunately i was well enough to pit stop at fernandina yesterday morning en route to xmas digs. scored some noreaster waves for an hour and change. first time there, its nice and more sheltered than the poles…
know where to go when and you may find what you like…wedgy waist to head high peaks barreling w some side offshore for a bit…had my basic 3/2 w gloves and boots it wasnt too bad…
on that note, i refuse to buy expensive wetsuits now that i primarily surf the gulf and cfl…tho i kinda wanna treat myself to a bare bones 4/3 (never had one) for the biting wind and colder water days/when i come back up north…waves all week…merry christmas
Anyone know if Sand Key park is open yet? Probably worth a look tomorrow morning if forecast stays this way.
i heard it was… HD said so a week or so ago…
Yes, SKP is open, maybe see you there this morning.
was a blast at dp^ 32 deg wind chill tho. water temp made it tolerable. nice to be back at the cold wave pool. long clean lines –waist to shoulder range on the big ones and some a frames. a lot of mixed up swell still hangin on.
Hey Micah-Trying to reach you via email re:Guide services, but the email keeps kicking back “undeliverable.”
Info@aurasurf.com is still the address?
it appears that email is not working, sorry- try aurasurf@gmail.com
buoy is close to 4ft NW this am…
winds dead and ssw swell is there. tide bottomed out coming in. go now for clean knee waist swell lines or wait for chest high crossed-up-bending-windslop?…i think i know which…
it was fun both mornings last weekend ^. clean and workable lines, knee to stomach, nice shape. waters getting alot colder…should warm up a degree or two over the weekend at least…
Wish you well brother!
Yo Micah – give us the play by play on your surfing incident. Hope it’s nothing too major.
