Thursday 6am update 8/21/25 WFL: hey I know it’s tough taking a whole day to go to the EC but if you can make it the swell is pretty amazing. If you can’t, the gulf will have a 1ft wave around this weekend to log on at the right time and tide… Evenings after the sea-breeze has been adding to the local flow will be the best time to look… NW PR- Waves have been fun but not big here in PR. Expecting bigger surf this weekend with good local conditions for the next few days into middle next week before going small again…

Wed above the fold… wave models show a knee high LB wave before dark on Friday if you can’t make it to the EC. EC should get fun tomorrow and into the weekend. The surf has been good down here… Hope you get some surf this week!!

Monday 8:30am WFL Update below…

Monday Tropics 9am 8/18/25: Erin came a little too close for comfort. What’s disturbing is how off the models were in predicting the strength and track… They forecast Erin to pass 100’s of miles NW, farther away from the Caribbean and Turks and Caicos and now these islands are getting pounded, pretty much unprepared. PR got ripped by Erin on Sunday. The iconic pier at Crashboat fell from 8ft west wind waves(never get waves from that direction). A sub station near the metro exploded and there were power outages over there. Here in NW PR some trees are down but we still have power, only the internet is out. I’m using a back-up plan… The waves are smaller today, chest to occ head high range. Worrisome News: There is another wave- 50% expected to be close by PR this next weekend coming so a week of biting our nails and possibly I’m going to put up my storm shutters. As for WFL, your on the bench still waiting to get into the game but everything is 3hrs east. With Erin so close the best time to drive east may be the end of this week… WFL Way Out: The GFS shows a weak front behind 50% at the end of August passing WFL with 1-2ft seas. Between here and there the gulf is forecast to stay very calm. Have a good week and I hope you score if you go to the EC. I’ll let you know how it is here… If you have SL premium check out the Puntas cam in an hour 10am I’ll clean it(not doing my job LOL) and go for a surf on the inside right possibly 🙂
Friday WFL 9am update: There is a disturbo over by the TEX/MEX border but it does not look to do much. Not much wind out in the gulf today. The next week looks pretty calm in WFL. The EC is getting set for swell from Erin. For the EC: Sunday could be fun as a little swell starts to move in and the wind is good. By Monday the real swell is filling in but winds will switch NE for a couple days. By Thursday and into NEXT weekend the winds look really good over there. Plan accordingly. Flying back to BQN tomorrow night, looks like it could be a bumpy ride with some bands from ERIN right in the landing path. Sunday the wind is SW for the Caribbean. By Monday the swell will be pumping with south winds. I’ll post pics. Lots of exciting swell on the horizon but all the action is in the ATL. I hope you get some… PR is going to have good surf. The studio is $100 a night and available if you want some hot Caribbean surf next week. Here is the link:

Family Vacay in NSB: I hadnt been to the EC in over ten years so on this trip back to Florida we decided to get a little family vacay in New Smyrna Beach and it was so cool! To me NSB has an old Florida vibe, it hasn’t changed that much at all. It’s like lots of little beach flats nestled in the dunes and palmettos and mangroves. There are birds and rabbits and tortoises everywhere. NSB seems built out nicely to me like they are not going to develop it too much more because its already developed and it’s nice to see all the cute beach bungalows and protected areas and know it’s not going to change too quickly… The vibe is still that of a small beach town. Hanging out at a street party on Flager Ave, I saw lots of older surfers just like me, and guys I met years ago. How it went: We would go up and surf the inlet all morning then come back to the house and chill in the a/c then go back out in the evening. Perfect spot for the family vacay! What to do: Surfing the perfect sand bar bowls a NSB inlet. Bar hopping at Flagler Ave’s fun night life. Hiking the trails thru the wetlands. Walking the beach at sunrise or sunset. Fishing in the Indian River or Atlantic Ocean. So much to do, get with Calida Properties and have a great Family Vacay!! Contact below:
