Plain and simple: The buoys off the northeast coast of Florida are there to predict weather and marine conditions. Not to predict surf conditions. However, they are commonly used for that. Agreed, Temp has little to nothing to do with swell. But, when we get a good groundswell, it is usually...

I'm sure that none of us know the full story. And that's O.K. There are a lot of good people in this little market. Josh is a great example. He's helped me along the way, (a lot of smaller stuff), But guys like him and Chris ........ well, I'm really thankful for them.

Suzi has not been reaaly active in this. Sorry to say, it has been me. Buoys 40-60 miles offshore mean absolutely squat when it comes to the surf we might get. UNLESS it's a true groundswell. 8' wind driven waves at the buoy mean absolutely nothing at the shore.

That's what I've been trying to say............... buoys mean squat, maybe an indicator. But local surf shops do a better job after swell is immenent.

You're very kind to inquire, but, my neck problems have solved themselves....for now. I'm all good. Just old guy stuff. Seems like they want to cut you for a case of the sniffles anymore. Scare you into spending. BTW: The last storm,(Irene), was awesome! I didn't ride on Friday. I was up and...

Got me. But, can I blame you if we don't get at least 1 to 3 this Saturday?
