Surf’s Up Surf Report: Little Groundswell At Noon, 3pm, & 5pm, 04/24/18

The little west northwest swell is on the beach. It actually looks pretty fun. The surf looks about thigh high. It’s super glassy and fun. There is absolutely no tide today, only the slightest half a foot tide until later today. The conditions won’t fluctuate too much. Morning, afternoon, or night it should be fun. This swell could be a multi-day swell. Surf’s Up!

The manatees on the beach were pretty cool. There was a manatee swimming around. It’s actually been really common to see manatees on the beach in spring, although not but until a few years recently has there been so many. This one breached the water head first with its body trailing, and eventually its rounded tail was visible pushing the large sea cow along.

Down on Honeymoon the beach is clearing out. The wildlife is everywhere. The warming part of spring is here and the seagulls are starting to get a little feisty. Lots of noisy seagulls on the beach. There are also many other species of birds frolicking at the waters edge.

Professional Surfer’s Take The Ocean to Battle For The Longest Ride


A group of surfers, some of the best in the world in fact, met up for an event held by the long time surfboard company McTavish surfboards. Riding classic styled boards they were battling for the longest rides; they were trying to find the waves that lined up from way on the outside of the sandbar, the ones that could be ridden all the way to the beach. Some of the surfers were seen riding right up onto the sand, not unusual for the stoked out longboarder who rides the waves from the very peak until they can be ridden no more. The longest ride contest hosted by the McTavish surfboard company was a success.
