Surf Report Comments

Friday 12/02/22

Reporter: T. Strange

6:30 am: The wind has lighted up some since yesterday so the surf is not as blown out this morning. Wave size looks similar in size to last night, based on first look, and the buoy readings offshore. We are going to call it 2-3 feet on first look. It’s still early and hard to get a good look. The wind is much lighter than expected, currently measured as E @ 9 knots early early at The Pier. The marine forecast is calling for strong E winds today. On our local buoy the early morning reading is 5.2 feet at 8 seconds down from yesterdays 5.6 feet at 5 seconds ,. See the ocean live on the SS’s North Side Pier Cam here

7:20 am: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see there are some peaks and lines for your Friday. Not as messy as yesterday, with some fun looking waves at times. Looking easily waist to chest high on sets. Earlier, it was noted that our local buoy was similar but down a tad from yesterday. Hey but looking further out to the East Canaveral Buoy it’s up from yesterday, with an early morning ready of 7.2 feet at 8 seconds. We have swell!

2:15 pm: Late morning and afternoon photos are up in box #2 taken from 10th Street, FA, and The Pier and you can see there are some fun looking waves! It’s semi-glassy at times with some opening up tubes at times. Some grinders on the middles sandbar on occasion. Light onshore winds so not too choppy, even semi-glassy at times.

* This Saturday The Surf Station will be bring back and putting on our SURFBOARD SWAP MEET here at the shop. So many loved the last one!
Bring your old board and swap it out Saturday. The event is free and is from 12 noon to 3 pm. We will have some collector boards on hand to check out + Nalus will be open with a fresh special

Here is the overview wind map, and here is the Windi Map centered on St. Augustine. Click.on the link, then zoom out to see wind speed/direction and the fetch that generates waves. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St.Augustine Beach, and the 5 day tropical weather outlook suggests nothing (tropically) stirring. Well, the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season ended November 30th, but “All is quite on the western (Atlantic) front” doesn’t take into consideration cold fronts, nor’easters and open ocean winter lows. Consequently, Dean’s 7-Day Surf Forecast is perusing the latest model data which suggests a week’s worth of waves on the way.
