Weather has been shitty everyday here in south Florida with thunderstorms popping up either in the morning or afternoons guaranteed.

@Bruce, Yes I seen that Sunday is the bad day. Every wave forecast shows near shore will be bumpy.

Stay safe and stay focused on the storms off the African coast and near Cuba.

The forecast is more than bumpy! I would not choose to be out there in the forecast conditions.

The only positive is that Sunday is forecast to have following seas for your return.

From Tuesday through Thursday afternoon the waves are forecast to be northeasterly which means they will be pushing against the stream with the wind in your face. That will have water moving in three directions which is a recipe for rough water.
