Surf Report Comments

Tuesday, September 10th

Reporter: T. Strange

Surf Reports comments:

7:15 am: The waves look larger and choppier . The wave size is 2-3+ feet and on the increase. The wind is strong onshore NNE. The marine forecast calls for the wind to be strong NE today. Our local buoy the early morning wave height reading is 5.9 feet at 6 seconds up from yesterdays 3.3 feet at 10 seconds. The water temperature is measured at 83.5 degrees offshore again this morning. You can see the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.

8:00 am: Early morning photos are posted in box #1 and you can see it’s very choppy this morning. Drifty N swell super bumpy waves at waist to chest high and on the increase. A strong current from N to S and withThe Dredge now gone, there is no more sand being pumped, so the erosion along our coastline will begin with his NE’er. The wind should be strong today with Tropical Storm Francine in the Gulf and (indirectly) wind getting sucked around it. Francine will likely become a hurricane this morning/today as she beams towards Louisiana …

Left up from last night:

5:00 pm: New late afternoon photos are posted in box #3 and you can see we had some fun waves around The Pier / Dredge area this afternoon! These photos were taken about 4 pm. Since then, it has started raining cats and dogs! Not sure how this will affect the surf as we get closer to dark, but we will see. You can see what is going on live live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here. all the way up til dark…

Link to DEAN’S SURF FORECAST

Here is the overview of the large-scale national wind map. Here is a closer look at wind over Florida coastal waters with sea height overlay (click on the map for the location of interest!): buoyweather.com. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St Augustine Beach, and the 5-day NWS Marine Forecast for Northeast Florida coastal waters. Organizing tropical activity in the Gulf of Mexico will become Francine early in the week, then head toward TX/LA. In the central Atlantic, one or more systems will slowly begin to evolve, with forecast models bullish on one eventually becoming a major hurricane. The next in a series of late summer quasi-stationary frontal boundaries will oscillate up and down the Florida east coast, producing sizeable (though near blown-out) surf by mid-week. See Dean’s 7-Day Surf Forecast for discussion and the call.
