Tropical Storm Nicole passes South Florida

Always a big media event, this thing was just a two-day rain deluge. Little wind but buckets of water and flooded roads. No big deal.

The good news is it went offshore and moved north last night. Woke up early this morning to cool temps and straight offshore winds. The surf was clean, very lined up and super fun. Nothing really heavy or hollow, but pretty 2-3 foot lines, brilliant sunlight and dolphins in the water are one helluva fine way to start your day :-)

I grabbed this off one of the local cams posted by Erdman Video Systems.

It was too cool not to post. Feels like this fall may be a good one. We'll see. Enjoy this one for now.

Hasta,
MF

That's it for now.

Pray for surf and drop in anytime.

Hurricane Earl 09.03.2010

After a slow start and a few puzzled forecasts, the swell delivered in full force on Friday, September 3rd. Everywhere was huge with raging currents and massive rips. Jupiter was basically out of control.

I headed down to Palm Beach with Jeremy Stanley to find just epic conditions. 6-8 foot bombs lining up and delivering crystal blue perfection. I shot from the water for about an hour and the jellyfish larvae were so bad that I have been dealing with insane head-to- toe bites every since. In fact, the poison from the stings even gave me a raging fever for the past two days.

I can assure you it was no fun being the buffet but here are the results of the effort.

Enjoy,
MF
