[Mr Bojangles]

sweet! sounds like a good turn out. Hopefully I will get my new motor mounts in before the big waves, my old ones might not last if the ski takes a tumble

 

[kcmasterpiece]

great, i get to test my creation on a big surf day with a bunch of people watching...lol

 

[Mr Bojangles]

if it makes you feel any better, I can fall off a bunch too

 

[kcmasterpiece]

i might be able to get a test ride in this weekend. so it might not be that bad.

I just got this email from work today......

A complex weather pattern will likely develop and impact east-central Florida from late Friday through the weekend, and possibly into early next week. While it's too early to determine the specific details, below are some potential impacts.


Moist onshore winds will increase and become gusty through the weekend and combine with warm ocean water temperatures and cooler air aloft to destabilize the atmosphere. This will lead to high rain chances and periods of heavy rain especially near the east coast. Numerous coastal hazards will include strong winds, high seas, dangerous breaking surf, rip currents, and beach erosion. Winds over the coastal waters will reach 15-20 knots with seas of 5 to 8 feet within 20 miles of the coast (higher further offshore). A Small Craft Advisory will be in effect beginning today. Gale conditions, with frequent gusts to 35 knots will be possible as early as Saturday morning and continuing through the weekend, and possibly into early next week, especially beyond 20 miles of the coast. Rough and dangerous surf is expected along the beaches Saturday/Sunday, with breaking surf of 6 feet, minor beach erosion and frequent/strong rip currents.

The strong onshore flow will enhance the coverage and intensity of showers/rain along the coast with rainfall totals of 4-6 inches and local flooding possible Friday through Sunday. Local rainfall totals may reach 8-10 inches in some areas. It is too early to pin down the most favored locations for the highest rainfall amounts. An isolated tornado threat could develop across portions of east-central Florida, most likely Sunday into Sunday night.

you can count on the jet zone to be closed then...

 

[66gt40]

Yep they are closed because of the small craft advisory today. Just talked to the lifeguard station.

 

[Mr Bojangles]

Are will all going to give up for Monday then?

 

[kcmasterpiece]

if the zone is open, im still down. i guess its one of those "play it by ear" deals...

 

[yamaslut]

first rule of riding... don't let internet predictions keep you from riding EVER!!!!

always assume it's gonna be good and if it's not we drink beer and talk about jet skis

 

[Mr Bojangles]

well I have kids to relocate and if its for sure a no go, I can make other plans to do a river ride locally
