Gimme Them Toes Day 2 9:30am, Afternoon & Evening Gallery Added

This is Doctor Sean Scott’s (featured image surfer) second to last if not his last day of surfing the gulf. He’s moving to Hawaii to surf the best waves in the world. The past decade has been fun surfing with you. There will be something missing from Honeymoon after your gone. I’m wishing all the best for him on his journey.

Below is the full gallery from the afternoon and evening:

A Few Little Ones: 10am, 03/22/19

I’m watching and hoping for the swell to fill in this morning. I’m thinking about driving down to Sand Key. It looks on the small side here for a shortboard. The one guy out is getting long rides on his longboard. It’s super fun size for a log. Incoming tide push peaks around 11 and the high should be about 3 hours from then, so between now and two in the afternoon looks like the beat time to surf Honeymoon and Sand Key. It appears to be getting more consistent. The weather is comfortable. I’d say it’s a solid knee high with long rides here at Honeymoon Island.

Sand Key looks better for a shortboard. I’m jumping in with the groms:

You Need To Go Out There

After watching a few social media clips from today I can’t help but wonder how good it really was. I saw one from Brandon Fraley that looked like a solid messy head high barrel.

His looked better than any of the clips I saw from the Palm Harbor groms. Everything I saw coming out of their profiles were similar, although way less organized. The swell appeared to be a solid southwest swell, rather than the west southwest swell being shown on the buoy. Mike Peru sent me a couple clips of the point Honeymoon Island. The clip he sent looked like it was more manageable there than anywhere else.

The storm surge was a large one and is probably taking its toll. Honeymoon could split soon. I was watching the cam seeing waves breaking way out in front of the south Clearwater jetty. On a longboard you could literally almost ride those waves from the channel marker way offshore( well maybe not that far, but truthfully pretty close). Brendyn Levasseur posted a really cool picture from deeper in the pass closer to the end of where that wave breaks. It almost looked like it was dropping by afternoon.

A Fortnite video game professional was even out there giving it a go in the pass today, the man himself, Tfue.

I would be stoked to read what it was like for you today. Did you find any manageable waves? I opened back up the comment section, so post up.
