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.

Saturday and Sunday are the best chances for surf from this front. The chances will be best in the evenings after the sea breeze increases the wind strength, and the sandbars shallow out. The high tides are just after mid-day, and dropping through the afternoon/evening.
