Elsa came in today and left us with some rain and winds. High temperature for today was 82F. Right now we have winds out of the South at 34mph. Keep an eye out, we still have a Tropical Storm Warning until early Friday morning for winds 35-45mph, gusts to 55. Just because the storm has moved on, the currents are deadly in the surf.
As you can imagine with the weather we have not heard of anything caught today. If you were brave enough and caught something on the surf or sound today, let us know and send us a picture. We will be happy to post it..!
NO offshore or inshore reports today.
