Looks like our streak of rideable surf will continue into the weekend. This is great news for the Jupiter Fall Classic surf contest held at Carlin Park in Jupiter.
Great swell the past week is tapering off, but a new one will fill in on Friday. I have some great pictures people have sent in, stay tuned, I will post them soon.
Weather should be warm and toasty this weekend too. Great to check out all the action. Highs in the low-mid 80s and lows in the upper 60s. Few showers may blow in otherwise partly sunny.
Friday: Fun waist-chest high northeast groundswell. A little wind in the morning out of the ENE but it shouldn't mess it up too bad. Staying 5-10kts throughout the day. Swell should fill in more through the afternoon.
Saturday: Fun waist-chest high surf again. Wind turning more out of the southeast will put some texture on the waves, but shouldn't blow it out as it'll remain light at 5-10kts.
Sunday: Swell will fade off but remain rideable. Wind will Clock around to the south, then southwest by the end of the day. Could be some fun, clean longboardable surf by the end of the day.
Extended: Tracking another cold front that may push through Friday and give us some NE windswell for Thanksgiving weekend! Stay tuned for more updates.
I'm going to check out the contest for a bit, then catch some for myself. See you out there!
Here's a shot of palm beach this past weekend...more pictures to come!
