Jetty Surf Forecast for Week of April 27, 2026
————————————————————————
Surfline, Swellinfo etc are good for general surf forecasting, what our Jetty Surf Forecast gives you is indepth knowledge for this local area. How the tides affect the surf locally, what the water conditions are, what the sandbars are doing, what the real water temp and feel is and when has been the better times to go out. Information that the general forecast sites have no way of knowing. Updated the page below to show the relevant buoys that affect our areas and a few secret cams.
Weekly surf report: This week we have no waves but this weekend looking like waves for sure. As of now waves building Saturday from the south, could build to thigh high by dark. Bad news locally is the bars at North Jetty are non existent so it will most likely be breaking right on shore. Great for skim boarding. If you want to ride some small windy waves it should be rideable just about everywhere. Bigger at south facers like AMI area, twin piers. Same for Sunday, Same for Monday except the wind switches north so south jetty should be protected if it all works out this way which it won’t because we’re a week out. At this point lets just hope for something to ride
Weekly Gulf Surf Forecast:
Monday: No
Tuesday: shin high
Wednesday: nope
Thursday: Go fishing
Friday: nil
Sat: Building to knee hopefully
Sun: Thigh sets all day, hopefully, Monday fading to knee high
*Prepare accordingly and forecast *subject to change

Relevant WFLA forecast buoys
Read the buoy data. These are the buoys we use to forecast waves for West Florida, you can get the data below. When the swell and period heights elevate from the northern, western or southern buoys the waves will eventually make it to us depending on the pace of the swell.
The waves follow the wind, check long range wind forecast on Windy charts below. Check real time wind data by checking the buoys and watch the swell heights follow. There are many buoys that only record wind so check those out too by clicking the map below, “select region” will be on the top right of the map, select “Gulf of Mexico (East) Florida” then click whatever buoy your heart desires.
Buoy numbers above correspond to the buoys below
