Surf’s Up Dude! Get Out There! Waves Crash At Inlet

Florida large waves crashing into Boynton Beach Jetty Inlet 2008There is currently a massive low pressure storm system over the western Atlantic Ocean off the Mid Atlantic coast and west-northwest of the Island of Bermuda. This has been a very slow moving storm system over the last few days, and it has become a large surf producer up and down the east coast of the United States. Here in Florida, the surf has been extremely elevated for days, with large pounding swells, with wind chop on top of it. I haven’t had the time to get down to the area beaches recently due to me working on editing video for a friend, but I know someone who has.

Good chaser and friend Chris Collura sent me these photos in the post of the swells yesterday off of Palm Beach County local beaches. I knew if I couldn’t make it down there, Chris would find his way. Chris is like me, whenever there is a Nor’easter or large northerly swell here in Florida, it’s defiantly worth getting down to the coast for the show. Chris and I both have a background in surfing in the past, especially myself with about 15 years of playing on the breaks.

Large Florida swells rolling in on sets along Palm Beach County 2008Unfortunately, I can’t get away to go and hang out and watch the large waves roll in until maybe tomorrow, but they look to be peaking now or even yesterday. Other than that, no much in the weather department to chat about, just trying to get some work done here before the active severe weather returns. Thanks to Chris for sharing some of his images of the waves yesterday.
