Surf Report Comments

Monday, May 24th, 2022

Reporter: T. Strange

6:45 am: Smallish surf continues this morning. Wave height is around knee high. Shin to thigh high range. It’s a bit mixed up and breaking inside with moderate S to SE winds creating a good bit of surface chop. The marine forecast is calling for brisk S winds today. On our local buoy, the current wave height reading is 3.0 feet at 5 seconds changed from yesterday mornings 2.3 feet at 9 seconds. You can see the ocean early on the new south side pier cam and on the north side pier cam too.

7:20 am: Early morning before and after sunrise photos are up in box #1 and you can see there are some small scale waves in the 1 to 1.5 foot range. Maybe up to 2 feet on a few of the largest set waves. It’s semi-choppy to choppy with the onshore south to SE wind.

Reporter: Darby

1:30 pm: It’s still pretty small and weak out there for your mid day report. We have waves mostly in the shin to knee high range with the occasional thigh high set. Our local winds are currently blowing out of the SE @ 14 knots, adding quite a bit of texture to the waves. Overall, it’s certainly rideable but the semi-choppy surface conditions are making it look like a better day for a skate.

This morning I went down to Flagler Beach and shot with Surf Station team rider Ryan Huckabee. Conditions were tough, but the waves were firing. The waves wedged up with perfect lefts and rights. The winds were blowing out of the Northwest and the temperatures were freezing. We got out in the water, and the…

What would you think if you saw a Surfline forecast showing 5.1ft @ 8 seconds with winds of 10 mph out of the east? I would think choppy surf. Well, today was just that but it was super fun!! The swell blew up overnight. Flat conditions yesterday to head high surf this evening. Chunky slabs…

This morning was one of my most favorite mornings of shooting surf ever! The water was the clearest I have ever seen, the waves were clean, and the lighting was perfect.

This morning had some challenging conditions. The buoy offshore of St. Augustine was recording wave heights of 4.9 ft @ 13 seconds. Now, this may sound like the dream, but it was not. Thirteen second wave intervals was a bit too much for the sandbars at the St. Augustine Pier. There were numerous closeouts with…

Today was super fun. This morning I wasn’t expecting much because Surfline forecasted 1-2 ft today. I checked the Surfline cam for the pier throughout the day. At high tide, I traveled to the pier. I asked a few surfers to come down and we were surprised, the swell rose from thigh-high waves to chest-plus…
