Wednesday

Winds are light right now over here on the beach but forecast to much stronger throughout the day. Waves are chest+, didn't look as big as yesterday but there could be some plus size sets still coming through since the pensacola buoy is 9ft @8 seconds.  Get out there and surf.  

No first hand report  until january 3,  I am headed back down to Tampa for the holidays but I will try and post a forecast when there are waves expected.

Merry Christmas

Mid-morning update.

As I sit here at my desk trying to get work finished before Christmas, I'm  looking out the window at the Sound and its basically glass out there, a little breeze now and then and it is still raining. Waves should be really fun, hopefully it stays this way all day and the Pensacola sandbars are actually working!

Rainy Tuesday

Head high out there, watching some guys catch some fun ones on the navarre cam.  Winds not as bad as initially forecast, yet.  Get out there, be safe, and have fun.

Monday afternoon

Its built a little but still looks pretty nasty out there. waist high but no real good break to speak of.

Monday Morning

Its only knee high out back this morning and choppy.  Winds ENE around 10, shifting more to the E and south as the day goes on should result in an increase in waves to possibly chest high. Partly cloudy skys.

Tomorrow sees a large increase in size, as well as winds. Buoys supposed to get up to around 8 feet but sse winds around 20 knots, and unfortunately the wind that was supposed to turn offshore wednesday now looks like it won't.

But can't complain, we have waves, and if you watch your winds you might score a fun light wind session, the winds have not been cooperating with the forecast lately in terms of speed, so you never know.

Sunday

Its flat, but waves are coming

Foggy Friday

Its foggy out there folks, I couldn't see the waves but based on the buoys (3.6 ft @6 sec) and the size last night I would guess around knee to waist high, gotta find the right sandbar. haha good luck. Wind is currently light out of the E and sometimes with a little North in it.  I would say it should stay about this size all day but we'll see.

Bonus forecast, waves starting again monday, looking at a possibility of good conditions next wednesday morning

Thursday

Good Morning. Didn't really get to look at it but my best guess is around waist high from what I saw driving to work.  Wind is already kicking up abit and is ESE around 10. Hopefully it sticks around and maybe improves some in the afternoon.

Waves on Wednesday

Thigh to waist high on the beach, definitely an improvement.  Wind is 11 mph out of the east and the buoys are at 4.6 ft out of the ese.  Definitely looking rideable, hoping for a nice afternoon, after-work session. There are some nice little sandbar set ups that have started developing in the last few weeks so get out there and explore.

Monday Morning

Windy, rainy, and cold, not the ideal conditions for sure.  Didn't get to check the waves but I would guess around knee high on the beach, there is still alot of north in the wind direction keeping it from building. We'll see what will happen as the week goes on though, winds supposed to switch more east and south by wednesday.

Flat

That is all

Tuesday Morning Report and Forecast

Looks waist to chest down on east pensacola beach, wind still out of the south 5-10.  Wind should switch offshore sometime this afternoon, my reports say around three o'clock, funny that is when I get off work.  Hopefully the waves still have some size left, buoys were at 5 feet overnight and have dropped to 4 as of this morning. Hoping for a warmer repeat of last tuesday. Hit me up with reports and updates, and I'll try and keep you updated. 

Recap: Last night at the pier was big and chunky, and absolutely detonating on that sand bank right next to the pier. Head high, shifty, giant rainstorms with 30 kt gusts, a fifteen minute period of glass after the rain, you  name it, it happened yesterday afternoon.

Monday midday

Been watching some of the cams at work and it doesn't look too bad, definitely chest+ and trying to regain some form.  Trying to make a decision for after work so if anyone has any updates leave a comment or an email, much appreciated.

Monday, December 5

Looks like chest high out on the beach, could be bigger but the outside sandbar is washing the larger waves out.  Wind is currently not as bad as it has been, but that will change soon. For now SE at 10 mph.  Cloudy out, looks like rain to the east of us. Size should stay the same for the rest of the day. 

Sorry for the non report yesterday, I went out to check it and ended up running all over Gulf Breeze doing errands, and then checking every spot I could think of to find a good sandbar. Ended up not surfing, but there was a good amount of people at the not so secret, secret point.  Didn't look that good to me.

Updates later, wetsuit still for sale, that is all

Saturday Evening

Chest high waves this afternoon. Then got to see my Dawgs blow it in the second half. Should be chest + tomorrow. Picures here https://picasaweb.google.com/110834664940916101410/December32011

Mostly from the contest.

Saturday 9 am

Looks like about knee to thigh down here on the beach. Should be building all day. Already a good bit of wind on it from the ENE, forecast to swing around to SE. Buoy is up to five feet, it was only at 3.5 last night when I checked it.  I'll be headed down to the contest area in a little while here to shoot some pictures and go for a surf once the swell builds. See ya out there.

Oh yeah, wetsuit for sale, billabong the solution gold, size large. Well used but gets the job done and keeps you very warm. I'll have it down at the contest so just come and ask. 100 bucks or a set of k2.1 fins or a new set of lost mayhem fins. FCS.

Friday December 2

Things are looking up, waves should start building overnight and through tomorrow morning, should be chest+ through the weekend.  Temps on the way up as well so that should be nice.  Cya out there

Wetsuit for sale

Want to sell my Billabong Solution 3/2 wetsuit. It is a large, used but in good condition, no tears or holes.  This is  a zipperless suit that has kept me, and will keep you, very warm in the upcoming months. It was just a little too long for me in the legs.

Trying to get 100 bucks for it to help with the cost of the suit I just bought, or a set of FCS tc redline carbon flex fins.
