Reporter: T. Strange

7:25 am: Wave size this morning is similar in size or a little smaller than to yesterday. It is glassy with the wave size shin to knee high, occasionally slightly larger to about thigh high. Quite cool early with offshore W to WNW winds early, with the marine forecast is calling for S winds later today. Our local buoy is currently 1.6 feet at 12 seconds down from yesterdays 2.3 feet at 13 seconds. You can see the ocean live from 3rd Street and The Pier on our cam page here. Up to the minute wind data from St. Augustine Beach can be found on the Surf Station Weather Station here.

8:00 am: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see it’s small but clean. Waves breaking on the far inside, and zipping along the beach. Here is a direct link to streaming video at The Pier from our You Tube cam page

Reporter: Big Dave

1:00 pm: Not much to see out there at the mid day. Surf is in the shin to knee high range with some larger sets up to thigh high at times. Our local buoy is showing 1-1.6ft @ 12 seconds out of the E. Local winds are light blowing just 7-8 knots out of the NE. There are some occasional sets showing due to the long period background swell. May be worth a check as the tide fills back in.

Reporter- Noah Brownell

5:15pm- Waves are very small this evening, current wave height is about knee to thigh hgh. The local buoy is reading 1.6ft @ 12secs out of the. The local winds are blowing at about 1-3 knots out of the SE. If you have nothing to do it would be nice to go for an evening paddle but other then that i don’t think it would be worth it!

Left up from last night:

. Reporter- Noah Brownell

.4:30- Waves are looking pretty fun for the log tonight, the current wave height is about knee to waist high but it is a little mushy. The local buoy is reading 2.0 ft @13secs out of the E, The local winds are blowing 7-8 knots out of the N. There is definitely a little wave out there so if you have the time grab your log and go have some fun!!

The new Matt Kechele Surfboards are in and up online. Check them out here

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 produces waves. The small/inconsistent long period swell will fade, leading to sub-1′ surf by the weekend. There is hope on the horizon the following week for a multi-day easterly swell (with favorable wind and unseasonably warm weather) the following week… see Dean’s Surf Forecast.

Quote Of The Day

Your surfing can get better on every turn, on every wave you catch. Learn to read the ocean better. A big part of my success has been wave knowledge.
