They just changed the flags at Miramar to Red - could be your day.

Thanks for the update --- We have that nervous and excited feeling in our stomach already!

Everyone please be careful out there today!

I was on the beach early today and the waves are over 5 feet already.
Wish I knew how to surf.

Rip Tides

Can anybody give some info on riptides on a day like today? I think me and the littler ones will stick to the camp creek lake outflow. I do have some older nephews who we may need to a close eye on. They are surfers too.

I would bet they might be there today. There is a second sandbar not far out in many areas that seems to be related to rip currents.
Run a search of threads and you will find photos and more information than you need. It's all been covered.

I'm going for a walk on the beach near Eastern Lake soon, but from my vantage point from porch swing and living room couch the waves are picking up. Be careful. I'll try to post some pictures I took last year of a surf/riptide rescue. The guy survived, but it was touch and go for awhile. One of the great benefits of the numerous coastal dune lakes along the beaches of SoWal is their outfalls usually provide a safe place even in rough weather and high tides. There are exceptions in extreme conditions.

Mr. Surf's usually keeps their report up to date and has photos

big out there today. nice swell through tomorrow and possibly thurs. jellies are in force, but it's worth a little sting. be careful all!

Beach Report from SeaCrest: Nice break from 50-100 yards out at 6:00PM.
Could be too much for novice longboarders like me tomorrow. Will take a peek in the AM and update.

Have fun Ryno!
Let us know if you will be out at Seaside or WaterColor, so we can enjoy watching from the proper watering hole.

Surf was firing from about 9-1pm today. I almost made it to the office! Great day with more on the way.😀

I Think its supposed to be good today too...I believe The Jackman is hitting the waves today...you should give him a call bobbaroo!

It was also very fun and sizeable this morning! Very much needed since we havent had good waves in quite a few weeks.

Biggest waves I've seen in quite some time.
Bringing in tons of Nettle Jelly's with them. The beach in SRB is littered with them this morning. Funny that there was no purple flag up, just a red one.

As we passed by Ed Walline this morning, those waves looked delicious -- wish we could go jump in but we've got work to do. Looked like it was moving very swiftly though --- so, everyone please be careful. Bummer about the jellies, hopefully this swell will push them all away!
