Weird Spring Weather in Florida

We've got an odd mix of weather going on in Florida now. On the west coast we have a cool northerly breeze, keeping the beach feeling like upper 70's, and off and on haze from the forest fires burning in Georgia and Northern Florida. In some parts of the state the smoke from the fires is thick and heavy, reminiscent of the big fires back in 1998. The Atlantic coast has been absolutely pounded by huge surf from a storm off the northeast coast. Major beach erosion has taken place on the Atlantic beaches.

On a brighter note, the Atlantic coast, particularly the Miami area has seen some of the most fantastic surfing opportunities ever.

Spring often brings windy tumultuous weather to Florida. It can be very unpredictable. But that just gets us prepared for the equally unpredictable hurricane season.
