7:25 am: Small scale conditions continue for your Sunday morning with some improved winds compared to yesterday evening. The waves are looking a touch smaller, in the 1 to 2 foot range with the occasional larger set wave. There’s a slight drift to the South, with our local winds clocking at NNW @ just 4-5 knots. Our marine forecast is calling for those winds to switch more out of the N throughout the day with a slight increase. On the local buoy offshore our current wave heigh reading is 3.0 feet @ 11 seconds, down just a bit from yesterday’s readings of 3.6 feet @ 9 seconds. You can see the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.

The bad news… Dean is calling for the cold to linger into the weekend with St. Auggie surf temps bottoming out in the low 50’sF. The good news… winter swell that peaked in size mid-week will linger and improve in quality with lighter wind before gradually diminishing. Also, much warmer (near seasonal norm) weather will arrive next week. See the Surf Station Surf Forecast for the details.

Here is a good link to track near-shore wave height/period/direction and water temperature (dipped into the upper 40’sF this weekend!) just off the NE Florida coast: the Fernandina Beach buoy. Located upstream (to the north) and closer to the coast than the St. Augustine buoy, it’s a good indicator of fluctuations in NE Florida surf conditions influenced by winter cold fronts. Here is an overview of a large-scale, real-time wind map to track the shifting winds associated with the fronts and lows that produce our waves.
