Surf Forecast: 5/11-5/15, Monday through Friday
A Storm is Coming
A tropical disturbance with zero percent chance of becoming a organized system is expected to move toward the eastern part of Florida and ride up along the coast. Locally, we’re only expecting a slight increase in rain chances as this big ball of moisture gets closer. I suppose it’s possible that it takes a track through the gulf. Far more likely the course will take its currently forecast track. The chances for surf on the gulf side are slim to none, although we should see a good swell begin to fill in on the east coast as early as Friday with light onshore winds. The strong winds look to stay centered over the right side of the low while it stays just offshore. It looks like Friday, Saturday, and Sunday should be storm surf over there with the surf fading beyond Sunday as the storm drifts away. Saturday looks like the day to go. If anyone wants to make a trip we could have a big carpool. I did that once with the USF surf club which was pretty fun. Maybe we can coordinate something if enough people are interested.
