7:25 am:  Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see the ocean is choppy for your Saturday.   Smaller overall early this morning, with some knee high to thigh high waves, possibly a slightly larger peak.  Drifty northerly angled swell, with a moderate current from north to south.

Here is the overview wind map, and here is the    Map centered on St. Augustine. Click.on the link, then zoom out to see wind speed/direction and the fetch that generates our waves. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St.Augustine Beach, and the 5-day NWS Marine Forecast for Northeast Florida.. Wat next? Dean’s 7-Day Surf Forecast forecasts another uptick in NE wind swell (not directly related to the system in the Gulf) Sunday into Monday. Well, she sized the brief window of opportunity Friday afternoon and now TS#2 is a minimal Tropical Storm Arlene in the ESE GOMEX while tracking slowly south. The system should weaken over the weekend as it drops SSE to near western Cuba, then re-curves as a remnant low and is absorbed by a mid-level trough lingering in the central Bahamas.
