Buoys Tuesday morning are showing a small swell. Check the small wave spots for best conditions.

We should see a small swell the next few days. No major swell makers are in the forecast but small SE trade wind swell looks to keep coming in the next several days.

Local winds look to blow SW to South to SE. Wind forecast is tricky, but basically SW in the morning and afternoon onshores. Chance of afternoon thunderstorms means possible evening glass offs.

We may see a small pick-up of the surf into Sunday and Monday. Local wind forecast is tricky as it is calling for stronger SE winds into Sunday afternoon. South and/or SW for Monday and Tuesday. There looks to be a small swell the next few days. Mostly 1-3 feet.

Check the reports and wind forecast for best times.

No major swell makers are in the long range forecast. Some virtual buoy forecast shows an uptick for next weekend.

It may be rideable somewhere but expect micro-small conditions.

No swells are in the forecast the next couple of days.

Onshore winds are forecast for the weekend. This may bump up a small wind swell for late Saturday and into Sunday.

Virtual buoys shows a small E-SE swell for Sunday and early next week. It looks to stay on the small side however. Probably 1-3 feet for Sunday/Monday/Tuesday with a SE trade wind swell. There does look like an extended but weak E-SE wind fetch pointed at us on the weather charts for late weekend and next week.

Small/flat going into the weekend with a slight pickup late weekend. Looking for small E-SE swell for early next week. No major swell makers are in the long range forecast.

Mostly small summertime dribble for the next few days. Tuesday may see something a tad bigger as the virtual buoys shows 10 seconds on it. However, expect small conditions.

No swell makers are in the forecast.

Tropical Storm Andrea looks to move into the panhandle late Thursday and up into Georgia for Friday.

Locally strong onshore winds look to kick up choppy surf for Thursday. Looks to pick up in size into the Afternoon.

Local wind looks to switch offshore into Friday. This should be an interesting surf day. Check the reports in the morning. It should glass off but the question will be how fast does the swell decay. I'll guess it will be fun in the morning and blown down into the afternoon.

It looks like we will stay in small rideable waves into the weekend around 1-3 feet.

No major swell makers are in the long range forecast. A tropical wave system looks to be North of Puerto Rico next week. This system may give us a small SE swell into late next week.

Next update Friday night.]]> David Reid http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=151202 2013-06-04T04:31:44 -05.00 http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=151202#comments 0
Small and barely rideable. Check the small wave spots for anything.

It looks like we will stay on the small side for the next few days.

A weak low pressure system is in the Gulf. This system looks to move N-NE and into the Panhandle Friday and into the weekend. Models keep it weak. National Hurricane Center says it has a small chance to develop. This system doesn't look to provide any surf for us. It may increase the South to SE winds however into Thursday.

No major swell makers are in the long range forecast. Mostly summer time 1-2 feet surf. Glassy mornings and afternoon chop.

Next update Thursday morning.]]> David Reid http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=151141 2013-06-02T05:38:43 -05.00 http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=151141#comments 0
It looks like we will see continued small 2-3 feet surf the next few days.

A weak low pressure system, possible tropical depression looks to form in the middle of the Gulf by mid-week. This system is showing on the models to remain weak as it moves into Florida and up the Eastern Seaboard next weekend. We should see an increase of SE winds towards the end of this week if the system develops.

Mostly small 2-3 feet and choppy conditions for Sunday. Local winds look to remain light into Monday/Tuesday with afternoon onshore winds.

Next update Monday night.]]> David Reid http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=151091 2013-05-31T05:05:06 -05.00 http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=151091#comments 0
Onshore wind flow looks to continue into the weekend. This should keep us in 2-4 feet and super choppy conditions.

Onshore wind looks to slow down some into Sunday. This will probably offer semi-cleaner conditions than what we have seen.

Models basically show 2-3 feet surf into next week.

Long range models shows the potential of a low pressure system, possible tropical storm towards the end of the week in the Gulf. That is something to keep an eye on.

One model shows it landing into the panhandle by Saturday (June 8th).

Local winds look to blow hard onshore for the next few days and into the weekend. This should keep us in choppy 2-4 feet surf. It looks like it could get bigger into the weekend. This onshore wind flow has a healthy wind fetch behind it so I expect a mix of ground swell in it going into the weekend.

Strong onshore wind from Wednesday to Saturday. Wind is forecast to slow down some into Sunday and Monday.

No major swell makers are showing on the long range forecast. However, Hurricane season starts June 1st and the chance for tropical storms to flare up increases!

NE winds look to pick up for the 3 day weekend. We should see the surf pick up as well around 2-4 feet by Sunday.

It looks like we will see 2-4 feet wind swell all of next week with the models showing bigger SE wind swell towards the end of the week.

Mostly onshore winds the next several days and 2-4 feet wind chop. E-SE mix of ground swell next week.

Next update Sunday morning.]]> David Reid http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=150857 2013-05-22T05:31:02 -05.00 http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=150857#comments 0
It looks like we will see NE winds pick up into Saturday. This should pick the surf up to around 2-3 feet with choppy conditions. Wind swell looks to last into early next week.

Long range forecast shows typical summer time pattern with E-SE trade wind swell around 1-3 feet for Tuesday and into mid-week.

No major swell makers are showing in the forecast.

A small swell is showing on the buoys Monday night. It looks to be around 2-3 feet into Tuesday. Glassy morning with afternoon chop.

It looks like we will see similar conditions into Wednesday.

The weather looks to change a little bit into Thursday with Mostly offshore winds and then wind turning from the NE. A NE wind surge looks to happen Friday and into the weekend. Long range forecast calls for an increase in NE wind swell into the weekend. Models are hinting that a weak low pressure will form off the coast. Something to keep an eye on.

Mostly small mix of wind/ground swell around 2-3 feet. Afternoon chop.

It looks like similar conditions for the next few days.

Virtual buoy models are showing an increase towards the end of the week. It looks like we will see a stronger SE trade wind swell then.

Small rideable waves can be found but expect small and choppy conditions.

It looks like it will stay around 1-2 feet the next few days. The weekend may see a small bump up to 3 feet with SE trade wind swell. Onshore winds are forecast for the next few days as well and keeping it in choppy conditions.

No major swell makers are showing in the long range forecast.

Not much of any swell is showing in the forecast. Mostly just super small 1-2 feet wind chop if that. We may see a slight uptick into early next week with SE trade wind swell picking up.

Looks like the summer flat season is upon us.

Hurricane season starts June 1st.

Next update Thursday night.]]> David Reid http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=150440 2013-05-08T04:45:16 -05.00 http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=150440#comments 0
Swell continues to show on the buoys. High tide in the morning with low tide in the afternoon.

Surf looks to be rideable into Wednesday with a declining and inconsistent swell.

Surf drops even further into Thursday and the weekend.

Models are showing the potential for more surf next week. Tuesday/Wednesday they are showing the chance of E-SE swell. A High pressure system looks to position itself out in the Atlantic where the bottom half of it has a E-SE wind fetch point at Florida. Also, a weak low pressure system may form off the Florida coast on Tuesday with another High filling in behind it. So, we may see a new swell next week.

Continued NE swell for Wednesday, then dropping into Thursday and the weekend. It may be rideable after Wednesday but expect small surf. New swell for next week.

Next update Sunday night.]]> David Reid http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=150402 2013-05-06T19:25:54 -05.00 http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=150402#comments 0
We should see continued swell into Tuesday. It probably will last into Wednesday (but drop further in size) as well.

Local wind forecast calls for offshore winds both days as well.

This swell has been great. It has dropped since the weekend but we should see continued swell for the next couple of days.

High tide in the morning, so probably better surf for the mid-day low tide.

It looks to drop even further into Thursday but I imagine it will remain small and rideable. Swell period models continue to show long period swell towards the end of the week, but probably pretty small surf size.

No major swell makers are in the long range forecast.

Local wind forecast looks to be tricky the next few days. A weak low pressure system has formed in the Gulf and looks to move over the State and into the Atlantic for the weekend. With a low so close to us it is difficult to predict the wind direction.

The NWS marine forecast calls for strong NE winds for Friday and East on Saturday. Then West winds for Sunday and early in the week. However, that may change on where the low pressure moves.

We should see surf the next few days. There is a long fetch of NE winds pointed at us from off of Newfoundland to Hatteras. This NE wind fetch should keep us in a 3-5+ foot NE ground swell through Tuesday.

We should see rideable surf for the next few days. Check the local conditions before heading out as the wind forecast looks to change for better or worse.

Next update Sunday morning.]]> David Reid http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=150237 2013-05-01T04:59:39 -05.00 http://2ndlight.com/fusetalk/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=21&threadid=150237#comments 0
Tuesday morning found really good surf in the 3-5+ range with glassy conditions.

I expect this long period swell to continue into Wednesday but start to taper off in size.

Local winds look to blow from the East to SE and keeping it in choppy conditions.

A weak low pressure system is currently forming off of Jacksonville and looks to fade away into Thursday. Another low pressure system looks to spin off of Newfoundland. A high pressure system looks to be in-between these two systems and provide NE winds from Florida up to Canada. This weather scenario should keep us in surf for the next few days and into the weekend.

Another low looks to form in the Gulf on Friday and drift over the State over the weekend. This looks like an interesting situation. If it was hurricane season I would say this system has a chance to form into something. But, keep an eye on it.

With all this weather, it looks like we will see mostly strong onshore winds through the weekend and early next week. This means we will see choppy rideable surf for the foreseeable future.

Now until early next week it looks to be around 3-5+ feet with super choppy conditions. It looks like plenty of opportunity to work those paddling muscles!

Glassy morning with afternoon chop.

Winds look to be SW for Tuesday morning but with afternoon onshore wind looks to develop.

Long period swell is still showing on the buoys.

I haven't been able to look at the forecast.

We should see the onshore wind flow pick up into Saturday. This should bump up the wind swell to 3-4 feet.

Also, a very long period swell should start showing on the buoys Saturday night and into Sunday. Look for long wait between sets but should have some size when they do. This swell may be delayed into Monday. Check the buoys for any sign of long period swell to see when it starts to hit. The timing is difficult as this swell is traveling from a long way away.

Local winds look to blow from the East then SE the next couple of days and keeping the conditions choppy.

Mix of wind and ground swell going into early next week.

We could see some size with this long period swell the next few days. Something to keep an eye on!
