Surf Report Comments
Saturday, July 24th, 2021
Reporter: T. Strange
6:55 am: The waves look small at first look but changes at the beach. New NNE windwaves developing. Wave height… is starting out at shin to knee high – but is on the increase. There will be larger set waves as the day goes on. The wind is NNE @ 11-13 knots early, with the marine forecast calling for stronger NE winds today. Checking in on our local buoy, it has an early morning reading of 2.3 feet at 4 seconds up in size and down in duration from 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 .

1:30 pm: Choppy small scale surf. It hasn’t come up as much as expected with very choppy small scale waves pushing in. Afternoon photos are up in box #2 and you can see it’s not looking very good at report time. Maybe later? We will see….

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 uptick in NE/E wind swell and an area of low pressure just to the east of Florida tagged Invest 90-L.
