Whether you use a long board or a short board, the surf is definitely up in Florida year round. With each season having something different to offer for optimum surfing, Florida is a great destination to ride the waves.

In the summertime, the water temperature is the warmest out of the year. With Florida’s typical back and forth summer weather, there is likely to be more sporadic swell from the start of hurricane season and also the daily afternoon showers. This helps to pick up the waves for more exciting waves.

For the start of Fall, the waves resemble that of summer. However, when hurricane season comes to an end, “Surftober” begins. October is a crucial month for Florida’s surf. With the outside temperatures sticking to the comfortable 80s, there becomes better wave breaks. The beach is also less crowded with school being back in session which is a plus because the waves are more available.

Like summer, the weather is ever changing in Florida’s winter. With one day in the 70s then the next in the 40s, weather conditions are very unpredictable. Surfers rarely have to wear full wetsuits, which indicates that the weather rarely dips below 60 degrees, but when it does, it is important to have that wetsuit handy. Winter is Florida’s most surf-friendly season because of the regularly crossing storms producing larger waves at a more consistent rate.

Finally, there is spring. The weather is very consistent in the spring, sticking to the 70s and 80s. Something to take into account with this season is the sea life that comes closer to shore. It’s important to remember these animals are around because of the possibility of an encounter. Be sure to bring the necessary remedies in case of an emergency.

Who caught the FREE Jimmy Buffett Gulf Coast Oil Spill Concert? I sure did! Well….in all fairness, I wasn’t at the actual concert, but I did catch it in CMT! What a great idea. One, because as a Floridian we are all trying to get business to the Gulf Coast and Two, who DOESN”T love a free JB concert?

The concert was great! JB, as usual had a great turn out and played many favorites including Margaritaville, Pacagoula Run, Fins, and the ever so popular It’s 5 o-clock somewhere! He has some great guest singers, and it looked as if Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band had a blast.

All in all, it was a great concert, even just catching it on TV. The real question is, how many of us are walking around these days singing Jimmy Buffett songs? It just makes me wish that I had some Jimmy Buffett CD’s so that I can sing along to all of my favorites any time I wanted to. Luckily, we are offering a 40% discount on all Jimmy Buffett products!

In case you missed the concert, check your local times for when CMT will re-air it. If you don’t have CMT; check out this great You Tube Video!
