It’s Christmas evening and I can’t help but share a little of the cheer I’m feeling about this forecast. It is giving me goosebumps and shivers, but in a good nervous anticipation kind of way.

There is a Homer surf forecast if I’ve ever seen one. It looks like we have a chance at decent wind conditions on the Homer beaches as well. Though I won’t be expecting clean lines with offshore breezes, it’s not predicting the straight onshore gales we’ve seen lately.
