The following link is a surf prediction product that we use to predict the size and shape of our waves. It is very accurate, well as accurate as predicting the weather can be. It is subject to change depending on Alex's course after re-emerging into the Gulf of Mexico. Regardless of his course we will see high seas from the South with a good swell period. Big powerful surf!
How this will affect the oil spill? Place your bets here.

Gulf Coast surfers are salivating. We will surf Alex's swell. Regardless of health advisories and such. I know some will call us stupid, idiots and the like but unless you surf you will not understand. It is a Religion and in that name, many have given far more for far less. Most of us cannot fathom living without surfing so if surfing kills us the relationship will have taken care of itself...so it goes.
As the water being safe...? Safe enough to make a Buck!
