1:30 pm: The surf cleaned up quite a bit since this morning. Lots of swell on the local buoy and along the beach some easily chest high set waves. The offshore winds have done their job with glassy surf as the change since this morning. New photos are up in box #2 with some from the Florida Boardriders event taking place at 16th Street today. Cloudy this morning with the sun starting to poke out and shine this afternoon…

4:30 PM: Fun looking waves to close out a chilly Sunday! Surf is in the waist to chest high range with some sets up to shoulder high. Our local buoy is running 3.6ft @ 13 seconds out of the ENE. Local winds are light off shore blowing about 6-9 knots out of the W. If you did or didn’t get some earlier today now is you last chance to get some. Don’t put it off until the morning!

Dean’s Surf Forecast suggests the week-long small spell will reverse following the latest cold front, and the first in a series of decent winter swells will build over the weekend.
