Surf Forecast for Wednesday 24th & Thursday 25th

On Wednesday another cold front moves into the gulf and brings up the surf.  I can see there being surf all day Wednesday and all day Thursday.  It starts out as a southwest swell on Wednesday, gusting to 20 knots or higher.  Winds could be in excess of 20 knots on Wednesday during the day, seas reaching 5 feet or more by evening.  Thursday morning the swell will peak around 6 feet or more.  Expect highs in the mid 80s with a rain chance of about 60% on Wednesday and 40% on Thursday.  Don’t forget to check in for the surf’s up surf report to see what’s happening at the beach.

East Florida and Texas Surf Forecast


Texas and east Florida will be seeing swell in the upcoming week. Both locations will be alternating between periods of strong onshore winds, ranging from 20-25 knots, and light or offshore winds. Both locations will be very similar in their surf trends; the surf runs about 5-7 through most of the week.

The east coast will be offshore for one more day before the winds turn onshore. 12 to 15 foot swell is showing up on the wave models for Friday in East Florida. Choppy, large surf will rise. Then, starting on Sunday evening the winds go slack and the surf continues at 5-7ft through the week.

Northern Texas will be getting straight onshore surf for the Friday swell. First thing Saturday the surf will be fun, light winds and 5-7 foot swell. Sunday the winds pick up again, and the gulf maintains a 15knot+ onshore wind through the week. There’s another possibility of light winds next Thursday morning.

These conditions are subject to change. Make sure to check the short range forecast, and your current conditions before you head out.
