Need an attorney that understands you? Check in with Scott.


Monday May 18, 2026 7am WFL Wave WX Outlook: ESE flow this week and flat-spell conditions. Way out towards the end of the month the GFS hints at low pressure down in the Caribbean so we will watch for that. Not really anything else to make waves at this point. The flow will lighten towards the weekend and then forecast to go more SSE and SE next week possibly which could put more of a 1ft line at south facers next week, not this week. This week is kind of flat everywhere. Another update on Wednesday. Thanks for checking in!!

My tribute to my youngest Cassia, she’s headed to Florida today…

Cassia has never surfed in a contest but she wants to… She was having a friendly competition with this girl in the black wetsuit from the EC it really pushed her to try and I think she had a break-thru session.

Can’t remember the last time I got to surf with all of my kids at the same time, so stoked they did great!! This is my youngest, Cassia.


Cassia likes to go fast.

The robe says it all. Cassia, this morning, 6am up with the roosters. Real Time Data: Overcast, humid, no wind at all 76 degrees. Pressure 29.99.

This is 10 year old Cassia surfing the small wave behind Casa Playa. You can see Casa Playa in the background behind the Coconut Palms.

School must be out!

Cassia headed out at PAG while Nonno watches on. RIP

    testing testing- when this pattern flips el nino it’s going to get much better for WFL waves even if it happens in summer, the GFS trying to make a low in the gulf in 7 days is an example of a pattern change.
    disclaimer having passed many el ninos in wfl it is 100% certain that no el ninos are the same, they are all different

    I took off for that glass off day Mar 17 and it was firing for a couple hours before the wind shifted more onshore and the swell faded. Tons of waves w barrels and fun sections. Skim was firing a couple weekends ago and beach was setup perfect. P.s. I got a new job with the city of largo and relocated closer to the beach, stoked on that.

      Here are a couple reports I got: “Knee high fun rides 6:30-7:30 after front blew thru, and before wind picked up again.
      Dawn patrol in morning should be good after wind switches from northwest to northeast overnite.
      Great forecast. I think most of the folks there tonite read aura. lol”

      “nailed the report, glad I didnt listen to Surfline, etc. Super fun first thing down south”

      Crazy to put my balls on the line and say there would be waves when Surfline insisted it would be 1ft. From what I could see from Colombia it looked like fun surf at dawn that faded pretty quick. Biggest waves I saw were chest high but mostly 1-2ft. I hope everyone got wet between Saturday PM and Sunday am. Should be more opps next weekend but at best south facers esp AMI. If that flow steps up a little it could be fun.

    Good call Micah. Saturday right before and right after the storm was fun for the grom in Pinellas. Sunday am was a little funky in Pinellas – main break seemed a bit troughy, but now and then a wave would connect through.
