Solid Cold Front This Weekend

A friend recently made me aware of the incoming cold front. It looks interesting, if not strange. Why is there a low pushing right in front of the cold front? That wind pattern doesn’t look right on the Navy GFS model linked below. A fun south swell could come up in front of the cold front. The winds are currently being forecast around the 25 knot range making it one of our stronger cold fronts. We’re still almost a week out. It’s currently looking like Friday afternoon, then Sunday morning. There’s still a lot to figure out as it gets closer. You can expect something fun this weekend at least.

Sand Key has been breaking right up against the rocks. It’s a really cool new break. The sand seems to have filled in on the jetty. On a recent swell I was catching waves breaking off the tip and just rolling down the jetty. Yesterday’s glass was bigger, and super fun. It was breaking just like this yesterday evening. What a sick spot this has become.
