Day

low

Giant trevally should be the day — the same sand as it empties; the GT still owns the edge. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.

Where

  • St François flats · 7.2hard flat on a outgoing tide is a workable match.
  • Alphonse lagoon · 6.7hard flat on a outgoing tide is a workable match.

16 mph SE · high slack

Where

  • Stiltsville / Cape Florida edge · 6.9sand dropoff on a high slack tide is a secondary match.
  • Cape Florida Channel · 6.9channel gut on a high slack tide is a secondary match.
