Whoever went upcoast last weekend definitely scored. Anyone see the shot of @davosjuevos by @surfsupwolf ? ? It looked so fun! ? Locally, the wind’s been slightly stronger than is typical for this time of year, so we’ve seen some barely rideable surf from time-to-time when the tide cooperated. Forecast: Summer-like conditions for the beginning of the weekend. Then, as…

? Well, we lucked-out and got some relief earlier this week with some windchop from the SE. It didn’t get much above thigh high, but it lasted for a few days. Pretty good for summer! ✅ Forecast:? Looking pretty good! ESE tradeswell was showing nicely in the swell magnets way up coast from Central to North Florida today. Surf…

The first week of July was hot, but luckily some tradewinds kicked up enough motion to get some slides during lower tides. Barely knee high, but rideable on the right equipment. It seemed like the best tide to surf was outgoing 2-3 hours before dead low. Once the tide bottomed out, the surf dropped and never seemed to pick back…

Happy Fourth of July! Last week was definitely summer-like in South Florida. ☀️⛈ Between flatness and steamy heat, there’s no escaping the fact that it’s THAT time of year in Miami Beach. The good news? It’s mango season. ? Forecast: Flat to almost barely rideable with 10-15 mph southeast wind in South Florida. Up above the Bahamas, a small…

Last week was pretty awesome for surfers in Miami. First, we celebrated #InternationalSurfingDay with Surfrider Miami on Saturday afternoon The Broken Shaker. Then on Sunday, a swell filled-in upcoast and it even made it down to Miami Beach before dark. Monday and Tuesday also delivered fun waves anywhere from barely rideable to chest plus. Tuesday evening, F1RST hosted the #DreamSteeple premiere.…

Holy smokes! Another surf forecast with waves? In June?! This week, we’re watching for a low to exit the mid-Atlantic coast sometime Saturday evening or Sunday morning. Once that storm hits open water, it’s predicted to get spun up nicely and very likely throw down some fetch in South Florida’s swell window. We’re confident we’ll see some swell in the…

The tropics really came out of the gate strong this year! We were glad to have some waves to report last week, although not as big as initially predicted. Monday/Tuesday was in the knee to thigh range, but still tons of fun with big boards and small expectations. (As evidenced by @realkevinclancy above) Tropical Storm Colin tracked further north than…

The tropics started heating up early this year! As forecast, Tropical Storm Bonnie formed last weekend and threw a fun little swell to Florida for the Memorial Day Weekend. The remnants of Bonnie have re-generated to Tropical Depression Bonnie, and are located about 25 miles east-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. We aren’t expecting to see anything further from her,…

Woohoo! We have waves in the forecast from a developing low pressure system (#91L) near the Bahamas. As of Thursday afternoon, the models are consistently showing a low forming Friday into Saturday that tracks WNW and then NW toward the South Carolina coast making landfall on Sunday. Until recently, winds were forecast to reach 25 kts, but the forecasted intensity…

Seems like Spring turned to Summer with all the hot, steamy weather and tons of rain. The ocean also looked a lot like Summer with flat to barely rideable conditions all last week. It looks like more of the same this weekend in South Florida. Way upcoast will have some small background/trade swell with West winds, so it could be…
