Surf Report Comments

Friday, May 20th, 2022

Reporter: T. Strange

6:55 am: The waves look yet a little smaller early on this Friday morning. Wave size around 1/2 a foot to 1 foot. The wind is light S @ 3-4 knots,. The marine forecast is calling for increasing SE winds this afternoon . On our local buoy, the current wave height reading is 1.6 feet at 8 seconds down from yesterdays 2.0 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.

7:30 pm: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see the swell is small. It’s more angled from the south with the rights moreso than the lefts. The size looks about knee high or less for the most part. Not super clean with the sidshorish wind…

Reporter: Darby

12:30 pm: It’s looking pretty small out there this mid day but there could be a longboard wave to be had on the right sandbar. Once the tide backs out a bit it may be worth taking advantage of the relatively clean conditions on a board with enough float for the small size we’re seeing.

We have upped our Bodyboard Selection here at the shop: Check them out here

New Lib Tech Surfboards are in! Check them out here: LibTech.

Here is the overview wind map, and here is the Windi Map centered on St. Augustine.on the link, then zoom out to see wind speed/direction and the fetch that produces waves. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St.Augustine Beach. Dean’s Surf Forecast has details on the surf ahead.
