    Nah. Just not skilled enough for such big waves. Dawn saw glassy shoulder to head high. It was gorgeous--- high tide was super high due to blood moon. Some amazing surfers put on a good show. Lots of injuries, nothing serious.

    Got it lovely, chest ot shoulder high 100 yard lines with bigger peaks and some head high sets at a very popular spot. Right tide, no wind till 1pm, chill but skilled crew. Again tomorrow after tide drops a tad. PM me, its a wave machine. Totally dialed in to the peak, the core locals are in Cape Hattaras for ESA contest, so plenty of slots and peaks to be had without a hassle. Sets fall into your lap. All the way to the sand. From past the vessels stay away sign. Long ass rights and a few quick lefts. LB unless you want to watch.

    Sunday was similar to Saturday, just a tad smaller, so F'ing fun, cant wait till it gets cold and clears out, crowds still thick in FL, but lots of waves for everybody to get their fill.

    May be heading over wed if I can snake the day off again. There were reports of sea lice and lots of jellyfish. Can you confirm either DPSUP? There were a ton of baitfish last week along with free jumping tarpon and the occasional small blacktip.

    I can definitely confirm, got lit up a bit down at Satellite, moved up to PAFB and it wasnt so bad. Still lots of active wildlife jumping aboot. The Jellies down south were relentless, F'ing surrounded to the point you couldn't move without getting tagged. Sea lice were a b*tch too, but overall it was worth it given the waves.

    Just got back. Overhead on the way way outside. Short lulls, long sets and strong current made for lots of paddling and duck diving. I couldn't get out early, the wind was on it a bit, it was sectiony so fast drops led to hollow sections led to closeout beatings. And I drank too much yesterday - football and blood moon spectacles. So it was not as much fun as it will be tomorrow am. This is a powerful groundswell, not the playful stuff we just had. I kinda forgot what those feel like.

    North of you there were long ass clean lines and bearable drift easily head high all the way to the shore.

    Surfline was calling it a 5-7+ or a couple feet overhead and "Very Good - Epic" in Melbourne. Looked very manageable on the cams, but I wasn't there today so idk, didn't see too many in the water. Was it cause it was Monday or because it was too big for a lot of people, or both?

    I had trouble making it out today, and when I did the drift took me. When I finally made it out I said to myself, "I am lame". Guys were getting great rides, and I'm sure earlier before the south wind started to mess it up, it was borderline epic. The sets were breaking 500 yards out, and some were almost connecting to shore. No booze tonight, early go out = quality rides tomorrow.

    It should not be a crime to give a hint. There is a civic center north of Singer Island and south of Jupiter Island. The wave will be 8 foot faces and 200 yard long rides tomorrow. It breaks so far out it feels like it is halfway to the Bahamas. Plenty of room for SUPs, LBs, kayaks, NO FING JET SKIIS DAMN IT!!!!

    Maybe not so big today - head high max? Offshore all day, tide drops out around noonish. Kinda of meh right now, that's why I'm here.

    Oh, what a difference a few degrees of swell angle makes. Here's the view a couple of counties south this am. Yes, that is the ocean. Sand reconne is of no benefit. Looks like I'll be on the road againe this weekend.

    Stand up barrels being reported in Satelite. I couldn't make it over today dang it but Sat and Sunday still look promising with new swell moving in. There has been consisted GOOD quality surf with offshore winds in FLorida for a WEEK with more to come. Who said there is no surf in Fl?
