Sure was some fun surf on this rainy day.
In the evening yesterday, the edge of the front, known as the frontal boundary, crossed most of the state. Often you know the boundary is crossing the state because the weather changes. In recent years the front has brought with it storms. When it starts raining you can tell it is a frontal boundary(or boundary of a system) by looking on the radar. The radar will show a line of green and red across the screen. Those colors signify rain.
For this cold front the rain didn’t come in just as a line. The cooler temps colliding with the very warm air and water produced constant rain even after the frontal boundary had fully crossed our area.
There were on and off patches of light rain through the night last night and all day today. There was just enough time between the patches to check the surf and slip into some neoprene/spandex (a wetsuit).
The waves were fun throughout most of the afternoon and evening. They were just the kind of shape we are looking for. It was another stellar day surfing in the gulf.
