Surf Forecast Discussion

This week - July 28th, 2010
Overall pattern looks lack luster through Friday with more small windswell in the knee-thigh high range and cleanest conditions early in the day or late in the day with lighter winds. A cold front will crawl across the region and stall over the area or just offshore into the weekend. This stalled front is our best chance of some possible tropical development and waves over the weekend. The chances are low but still possible, the models are not suggesting any development, but we might get lucky. More to come.
