Surf Report Comments
Wednesday, August 4th, 2021
Reporter: T. Strange
6:50 am: The swell is slightly bigger than yesterday at this time. The ocean is semi-glassy with offshore winds. Wave size early looks shin to knee high with some thigh high set waves. The wind is SW @ 5-7 knots early, with the marine forecast calling the wind to shift back S later today. Checking in on our local buoy, it has an early morning reading of 3.9 feet at 6 seconds, up from yesterdays 3.0 feet at 5 seconds. You can check our regional buoys here, Check the Surf Station You Tube Live Cam for a live look at the surf this morning. The up to the minute wind data can be seen on the Surf Station Weather Station .

12:30 pm: New photos are up in box #2 and you can see the waves are bigger than yesterday. For the second day in a row, we are seeing an increase. It’s fairly clean and glassy as the waves zip over in the inside sandbar and occasionally push up the beach. Some fun rights at times. Ya gotta be the right spot to catch it just right...
.
6:20 pm: Like yesterday evening, the surf is not as good as the morning session. Check the Surf Station You Tube Live Cam for a live look at the surf this evening. The rain is not helping. The wind has been variable and not offshore like it was this morning. It may swing back around though.
This will do it until tomorrow morning early-early.. 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, seeding tropical waves for the nearly 2-week trek across the ocean as the heart of hurricane season nears. Dean’s 7-Day Surf Forecast details the modest uptick in trade wind swell this week and what’s in store for the weekend.
