Broward Beach Conditions

    out today in ft. lauderdale with Scott. hit the water at 800am and it was glass flat and aquarium clear.
    before we got to the backside of the second the wiind was picking up. After a thorough investigation I;m sad to report there are no shootable fish left in south florida. Did see a black that was either legal or an inch short, but didnt want to chance it, and a lot of very sizable margate. Shot nothing
    Viz was a hazy 40+ in 35 feet and a bit clearer inside that but was shutting down quickly..
    I hopped off the yak to cool off and saw a 5 foot tarpon in about 8 feetof water

    Has anyone else noticed that the wind picks up every weekend for the last few months now?!?! every time the water starts to clear up the wind picks up just in time for the weekend to stir it up and make it rough.

    Today started out perfect, with glass flat seas and went down hill from there. I had a thunderhead over me and rain on before i got back in. I missed a nice mac that wouldn't really come in close enough, but did manage to get 2 schoolmasters and 1 dog.
    Weather is beginning to act like summer with noontime thunderstorms.

    Rained most of the night and was raining and a little rough at first, but by 9am the wind had switched, slowed and the sea went flat
    Viz could have been better, but was not bad with no sun overhead.
    I switched to my summer 1.5mm wetsuit for the first time today.
    Only saw and shot 1 porgy and 1 28in mac all morning

    Well South Florida, we had a rough winter but if the past week's beach cams are any indicator as to what the rest of the summer might be like we have it pretty good <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
