January 7, 2014 Hollywood Beach, Florida

Today I stopped at the beach. The weather in Miami has been very windy and gusty, around 20-30MPH. I decided to check out the waves halfway between Miami and Ft.Lauderdale. They seemed to be very calm....until I looked a few miles offshore. In this area the gulf stream is very close to shore. The waves in the gulf stream had to be 7-10ft!
