Sand Key Video: Thrashing Sand Key in May


I’ve said it once, but I’ll say it again. That was a really awesome May.  This video features high performance surfing from an incredible spring swell, just one swell of a series of swells from this epic month. The warm conditions and high surf repeating throughout the month were especially unusual, and delightfully so. It would have been just impossible to wipe the smirk off of everyones faces. Simply put, it was the best month of May we’ve seen in a very long time.

A Wave on Mothers Day ’17

It’s possible that we could see a wave over the next few days.    The west/northwest winds will be up as another cold front crosses the gulf. The winds will range from 10 to 15 knots.  Saturday and Sunday are the best chances for surf from this front.  The chances will be best in the evenings after the sea breeze increases the wind strength, and the sandbars shallow out. The high tides are just after mid-day, and dropping through the afternoon/evening.
