Yeah, I live in TI so sunset is always my first check. I do find it always at least a foot bigger in Bradenton. I think the S swell will be here tomorrow. I will be checking all day.
"04/00Z GFS model run presents quite a change in the GFS forecast track. Brings Karen into Apalachee Bay with landfall early Monday morning, then into the Atlantic just offshore Georgia by early Monday afternoon and then stalls the system off of Cape Hatteras through Thursday as a ridge builds to the north. It will be interesting to see if future model runs support this trend."
She's HERE!!!! Just checked Venice cam and it's already starting to go off, Looks really fun out there, can't wait to get off work fellas!
It's the surfline Venice Jetty cam, dudes are getting really nice waves down there right now, looks like waist to maybe chest sets and super clean. Look at the North Jetty (when the cam finally turns) http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/venice-jetties-south-florida-gulf_5456/
Looks like tide is on it right now but still some coming through, will probably get better again as the tide goes back out
That report says the best board for today is an SUP and the best suit for today is a hooded sweatshirt.
it also says its going to be 0ft @ 10 seconds. which just sounds bizarre. so nothing is going to happen at ten seconds?
HAHA Peajay you're absolutely right, friggin advertising, I mean if I put a sweatshirt on right now i'd die of heat stroke! The reports are usually off on the Gulf, it's a very fickle animal that thing, especially when there is a named storm out there. I saw what the report said, but then when I watched the Cam, dudes were dropping in and nice glassy 3-4ft ramps, then the tide got on it, now it's back to 3-4 on the sets, only a 3hrs and i'll get to go out and play!!!
Yes brah. Every 10 seconds a tree will fall in the woods. Didn't we go to the same different high school?
Some pics from this morning, the early front runners... http://www.gulfster.com/Daily/2013PictureGallery/100413/index.html
Nah that's not me HAHA, I'm in much better shape, I don't wear a shirt or a hat in the water, just shorts and a board, and I won't be bringing out the SUP. Today I brought the LB, and tomorrow / Sunday i'll be out on the shorty. I wish I was out this morning, going after work though...
Chad I am in Lafayette and doing a day trip to the Texas coast. Are you interested in going. A buddy is following me. Let me know what it is like where you go after work. I will go to either Surfside or Galveston.
