What a beautiful day today for a nice stroll on the beach! We listened to the soft roar of the gentle waves lapping onto the white sand beach as we walked the edge of the mangroves enjoying the nice warm Florida sun and searching for buried treasure (shells) brought to shore overnight.

Cold Front on the Way: Thursday Evening/Friday Morning Surf Forecast
Here comes the cold front I mentioned in the last Surf’s Up Surf Report while we were getting that little swell with warming weather. The water is getting really comfortable, especially with these steamy air temperatures. Thursday evening the winds may bring up some swell from the southwest; it looks like around 15 knot winds or less for most of the day. Overnight the winds increase to a westerly direction, the best wind direction we could ask for. A long west fetch should make Friday morning fun with air and water in the low 70s. The tide comes in from 6:30am until 12:30pm on Friday morning, and so that looks to me like the best time to surf. Behind this Thursday/Friday front, into the immediate future, the warming trend will continue.
Note: The exact arrival of the cold front could change to an earlier or later arrival.
