Surf Chart for Sebastian Inlet From SurfGuru.com

Since MagicSeaWeed changed, I started using SurfGuru instead.  Usually, I only post one surf chart per post, so I select one spot on the Treasure Coast.  That might leave you wondering how that relates to the beach that interests you.  Therefore, today I decided to post surf charts for three areas that are pretty far apart so you can see how much or how little difference there is.

Above is the Surf Chart of the Sebastian Inlet.  As you can see, the surf is predicted to be five to six feet today (Monday).  And you can see what the rest of the chart looks like.

Below is the surf chart for the Fort Pierce Inlet area.  That is a distance of about 27 miles.

You can see that the two charts are pretty similar - not more than a foot in a few time slots.  Likewise, the surf and wind directions are very similar.  It seems you can look at one Treasure Coast chart and figure that the others will be similar, although not exactly alike.  Of course, you can always go and check the chart for the area that interests you the most, but you normally won't see a lot of difference.

Just one more example.

Below is the chart for the Jupiter area.

Surf Chart for the Jupiter Inlet Area from SurfGuru.com.

The distance from the Fort Pierce Inlet to the Jupiter Inlet is closer to sixty miles, so you might expect a big difference in the surf charts.  Again, not a huge difference.

The predicted surf for today (Monday) for Sebastian, Fort Pierce and Jupiter inlets is 5-6, 4-5 and 4-5 feet.  

In my estimation, there is not a lot of difference.  Bot the surf size and surf and wind directions are pretty much the same.  Again, if you are interested in any small differences between areas, you can always take a look at the specific chart for you area.

Of course, you might want to check other things such as the tides, which will vary from area to area.

Using Surf Guru, the morning low tide at Fort Pierce inlet is shown as 0 feet at 4:32 AM.  At Sebastian Inlet SurfGuru shows a morning low tide at 4:26 AM of 0 feet.  And the Jupiter morning low tide is at 4:41, but also 0 feet.  So, you see a difference in timing, at least between the other two beaches and Jupiter, but no real difference in the size of the tides.

In the past when I might visit several beaches, I would consider the tide times.  I would sometimes visit the beach with the earliest low tide first.  So, if I was interested in the beaches I mentioned above, I would check the northern beaches before low tide, and with the tide differences still have time to drive to Jupiter, if I was interested in that beach for some particular reason.  Maybe it looked pretty good on the web cam.  

You can find web cams on SurfGuru for some of the Treasure Coast and other Florida beaches.  Here is a link for the web cam at Stuart Rocks for example.

You can also find the web cams for the Sebastian and Fort Pierce inlets on SurfGuru.

This isn't a commercial for SurfGuru, but I've been using it a lot lately and used it for the examples.

For tides, you might choose to use the following.

It is nice and windy this morning and hope to get out to the beach soon, but yesterday my mom was having trouble, so I don't know.

I used to collect old and collectible books.  I once wrote an article about treasure books and book treasures for a metal detecting magazine.  

Charlie Watts, the drummer for the Rolling Stones, had a good collection which was auctioned by Christies.

Here is the link.
