Surf Forecast: For Tuesday & Wednesday, June 06 & 07, 2017
The environment is starting to heat up. This rain and thunderstorm activity appears to be associated with a cold front and tropical low (pictured above). The tropical like weather will continue over the next few days, and bring southwest winds. Tuesday our surf comes up. SWAN has it at 4-5 feet by 3pm. By evening on Tuesday a solid southwest flow will be in place.
The winds will only be around 15 knots, but there is a lot of fetch. Tuesday evening through Wednesday evening will be in the 4-5 foot seas range. West Florida water temperatures are at 84°, and rain chances at 70%. The mornings and evenings will be the time to surf.
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.
