Surf Prediction for Fort Pierce Area.

The surf will be increasing today.  We still are getting some north winds, and the primary swell is NE, with a N secondary swell.  I'd expect some beach erosion to some beach fronts, but I'm not expecting anything like we had a couple of months ago when the tides and waves were big and we got erosion far onto the back beaches.

January 6 every year Tarpon Springs hosts the biggest Epiphany celebration in the country, but this year there was no blessing of the fleet and the normal crowd will be much smaller.  

Due to the pandemic only 18-year-old divers were allowed to dive for the cross.

Here is a link for more information.

There is a new Covid scam to watch out for.

Extending the Year of Fakes into 2021, here is a new one to watch out for.  There are scam web sites that allow you to pay a fee to get registered for the Covid vaccinations.   The legitimate sites for registering require no fee.

Also if you are wondering about your stimular payments, JamminJack says he was about to locate the status of his on the Get My Payment web site.



Happy hunting
