I am 90%. That is good enough to go!

Also, for peeps that don't or have not surfed. The red flags mean dangerous rip tides. Be careful! Most surfers are experienced water people and have a flotation device attached to their leg. If you must enter the water or allow your children in foolishly make sure they are attached to a flotation device.

Head west for waves! This swell is missing us from Miramar east. It picks up greatly from Destin east. Too much side shore to it. I was thinking it would be big enough to fill in but looks like we are getting skunked in sowal.
