The Tropical Wave Over Florida

There’s a tropical wave moving past the state tonight.  NOAA is calling it a surface trough.  This area of weather is kicking up substantial storms, but it’s just a big area of tropical moisture.  Just a little east wind and high rain chances for the coming days. Storms will be active in the afternoons.

Unfortunately, no surf in our long term forecast. There should be something springing up in the near future.  Approaching August statistics tell us the chances of a large wave producing storm is far more likely than previous months. August and September has a big spike in tropical activity every year. The gulf or east coast is sure to see fun surf in the coming months.
