Local winds are light offshore WSW to start the day, with the marine forecast is calling for SW winds today. Our local buoy is currently reading 2.0 feet at 10 seconds up a tad in duration from yesterdays 2.0 feet at 9 seconds . You can see the ocean live from 3rd Street and The Pier on our cam page here. Up to the minute wind data from St. Augustine Beach can be found on the Surf Station Weather Station here. You can watch the surf live on You Tube on The Surf Station Cam in steaming video.

12:30 PM: Some fun looking waves coming in at midday today! Surf is in the knee to thigh high range with some larger sets at times. Our local buoy is currently showing 2.0ft @ 11 seconds out of the E. Local winds are still offshore but have increased blowing 8-10 knot out of the SW. Well worth the effort if you haven’t gotten in the water lately. Bring a big board and be ready to do your best archy bend!

Here is the overview wind map, and here is the Windi Map centered on St. Augustine. Click on the link, then zoom out to see wind speed/direction and the fetch that produces waves. After bottoming out last weekend, a modest uptick will get underway mid-week. The easterly swell, favorably light wind and mild weather will carry through the rest of the week. A strong cold front is forecast to crash the party Sunday. Will the chilly nor’easter kicking in behind the front build surf size next week? See Dean’s Surf Forecast.

Yesterday's Quote of the Day
Life is a lot like surfing… When you get caught in the impact zone, you’ve got to just get back up. Because you never know what may be over the next wave.
Classic Quote of the Month
Surfing to me is like playing music. You play different melodies with different boards.
