6:30am Surf and Weather Report: We’re getting rain every morning and are in a wait and see pattern with the storms 97 and 98L. You can either wait every 3 hours for updated storm info or just stay busy and wait. Guys time to start preparing for hurricane season for real now. We got a few storms likely coming our way. By preparing we mean make sure your boards are ready, fins are right, leash is tight, enough wax, sunscreen, sunglasses, boardies, head to the compound and get ready. Also make sure you’re prepared to be out of electricity for a few days. We’ll keep watching the storms, more info on the = Weekly Updated Indepth Surf Forecast.

Rules of Surfing: If you want to learn to surf its time to look at some of the rules. Or even if you’ve been surfing for awhile maybe you don’t really know the rules. Maybe you’re getting run over a lot, maybe you’re getting yelled at here and there. Well apply the rules in this Surfline Article and maybe that’ll happen a little less. Maybe.
