Micah just posted a surf forecast for the gulf. He’s calling for mostly bad surf in the upcoming swell. The model I looked at shows 20 knot west winds with this front (see gfs model link below). His forecast isn’t what’s confusing me. It’s not unusual to see the model different front what Micah forecasts. Micah is usually pretty good. What’s confusing me is what he wrote this time. He’s talking about a low blowing over by California and it taking 24 hours for it to get here. California is on the other coast. That wouldn’t be generating any waves. Hey Tony, if you read this, would you ask him to clarify? I just don’t understand what he’s saying. Is this one like that last one where it starts on the Texas coast as a ripple? If so, shouldn’t it be a really good swell like that other one?

Venice Video
Some shredders showed up on this fun day at the jetty in Venice. Looks like they had a good old time. The waves were lining up pretty good.

Gulfster’s second most watched video was published in 2006, and since 2006 has generated a little over 13 thousand view. This video is of some of the boys in pumping, picturesque green surf, during what was undoubtedly a mild gulf coast winter day. It was published in a vibrant time in gulf surfing history, when skim contests were abundant, and gulf coast produced video premieres were common. This video stands as a testament to a lost era.
