Surf Report Comments

Reporter: T. Strange
6:40 am: The waves look small at first look. Wave height… looks about shin to knee high; there could be some slightly larger set waves based on the buoy readings offshore . The wind is SW at the moment, with the marine forecast calling for NW then brisk NE winds later today. Checking in on our local buoy, it has an early morning reading of 2.0 feet at 8 seconds, the same as yesterdays 2.0 feet at 8 seconds . You can check our regional buoys here, Check the Surf Station You Tube Live Cam for a look at the surf this morning. The up to the minute wind data can be seen on the Surf Station Weather Station .
.
9:15 am: On second look, the 1st look is about spot on accurate. Small scale glassy waves breaking on the far inside. Looks about a foot from the ESE for the most part. Here is a video and here is a second video from mid morning….
.
3:05 pm: New photos are up in box #2 with the front end photos from this morning. The last 4 are from this afternoon when the wind turned onshore and chopped it up. Looks smaller and choppier now. Not a good sign for the Friday evening Happy Hour surf session…
.
7:55 pm: Evening Note: So the waves looks super small. Here is a pic from this evening from The Pier with the waves breaking on the far inside. You can see video here too, and it is very very small.
This will do it until early in the morning…. over and out…..

Here is the wind-field graphic illustrating the current wind flow/fetch that creates waves. Here is a look at NOAA’s map of the Atlantic Basin monitoring the tropics. Take a look the GOES-East Full Disk loop to watch convection coming off Africa’s west coast, potentially seeding tropical waves for the nearly 2-week trek across the ocean. Dean’s 7-Day Surf Forecast discusses the weekend’s surf prospects from the area of low pressure just to the east of Florida, recently tagged Invest 90-L.
