Keep your eyes on the buoys and cams for a possible Tuesday evening surf. The swell peaks at 4-5 feet at 6-8 seconds from the west-northwest on Wednesday, with north winds. On Wednesday, the further you go south, the longer the long period swell wave window will be.

Rest of the Gulf

East Florida
Over on the Atlantic, the surf is about waist to chest high. The winds are sideshore for the next couple days. The waves will be “textured” on the exposed outer sandbars. By the time the winds go offshore mid-week, the surf drops. It’s not really a good week for making a day trip to east Florida.
