Skurf and Wakeboarding 11/29/08
Took the boards out on the boat yesterday for some skurfing and wakeboarding with Jorge Pagan and Sam. Was very windy out of the south but found some protected waters. Not a lot of boat traffic out there due to the weather. Took a lot of photos. Click on “read more” or the title of the article to view all of them:
Hurricane Gustav Synopsis
Well, like Dolly (Unlike Fay) we had some good surf for an extended amount of time. Hurricane Gustav surf showed up small on Saturday night and held through Tuesday afternoon. It seemed like no surf really got to us until the storm center was about due west of us in the Gulf of Mexico.
With the storm reaching Category 3 strength south of us I thought we would be in for some overhead conditions but they never really got that big at Upham Beach. Though there were some larger waves breaking out beyond the pass. A report from Jorge Pagan in Bradenton was that surf did reach 1-2 feet overhead down there on Sunday afternoon but the biggest waves in St. Pete were probably in the chest high range.
