*Surf forecast for the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast*

<<WAVE REWIND<<
Refraction action came and was fun. It a little underperformed but was still pretty fun.
SURFCAST DISCUSSION
Another cold front moving south Sunday afternoon will bring in a burst of winds behind it. This will bring a quick shot of North windswell for Monday. Winds will be offshore early but there will be some texture. Then winds quickly turn Northeast and it'll get choppy and drifty, but also pick up some. Tuesday winds and waves die down quickly. Maybe some smaller leftovers. But, high pressure strengthens some as it moves off hatteras, and with the stalled front just to our south, our onshore winds will pick up again bringing in another round of windchop for mid week. Then another front pushes down Friday giving some chance for waves to pick back up then and the first part of the weekend. As mentioned, a very fast moving, progressive weather pattern!
DAILY SURFCAST SPECIFICS:
SUNDAY18: Flat. Wind SW 10kts.
MONDAY19: Quick shot of a hard north windswell as winds turns around quickly so it won't be as clean. Smaller/cleaner early, then wind gets on it some in the afternoon but waves pick up some also. Waist high, maybe bigger at some spots, and probably have some drift too. Wind NNW/NNE 15-20kts.
TUESDAY20: Knee/thigh high windchop wave left. Wind : NNE 10-20kts.
WEDNESDAY21: Waist-chest high windchop wave picking up as winds increase. Wind: ENE 20+kts.
THURSDAY22: Knee/thigh high cleaning up leftover. Wind variable 5kts.
FRIDAY23: New NE windchop wave picking up as winds pick up again. waist/stomach+ high. Wind NE 15-20kts.
SATURDAY24: Wind dies down quickly, possibly some cleaner NE leftovers in the waist high+ range, fading throughout the day. Wind ESE 5-10kts.
SUNDAY25: Knee high clean little NE swell at lower tides. Wind W 10kts.

LONG RANGER SURFCAST
With the faster moving pattern, we shouldn't stay flat for two long as systems will be moving through every 3/4 days or so. Even some windchop in between so at least we're looking at more consistent waves now. That should at least round out January with more consistency. We should be able to get a low to move offshore and bring some real groundswell at some point. February has a tendency to slow down some but I'm still seeing hints of this pattern spilling into February so hopefully we can maintain something to ride out there. Some hope so hang in there, we still have a lot of season left. Stay tuned!
