The weather change looks like an increase in the rain chances, humidity, and a strengthening south wind. We’ll be surfing the gulf in this precursor to the hurricane season.

A weather change is upon us today that might present an opportunity to find a nice wave on Monday evening. If it does appear from the slight increase in northwest wind on Monday afternoon behind the cold front it’ll be super fun. It’s great when surf comes up when the water warms up. Water temps are just below 80 degrees on Clearwater Beach. It may not be enough to make a wave. Keep an eye on it. A longboard wave could come up first thing Monday morning.
