Surf Report Comments

Friday, September 24rd, 2021

Reporter: Big Dave

7:00 am: The surf looks like the wind swell of yesterday is starting to fade. Waves look to be about thigh to waist high at first light. The local buoy is currently running 3.3ft @ 6-10 seconds out of the E/ENE. Local winds are still blowing decently strong at 8-9 knots out of the NNE. There are some rideable peaks both on the inside and outside sandbars this morning. The inside may be fun as the tide continues to fill in towards mid day. 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

Reporter: T. Strange

9:55 am: Morning photos are up in box #2 with the photos taken just after Big Dave’s before sunrise pics earlier. Since then, the wind has picked up so it’s choppier. Choppier means not as good. The tide is coming in so maybe the inside will get fun at key spots. Some times it’s not as choppy on the inside….

Reporter: Skylar Riddling

6:45 pm: A few fun looking waves out their tonight, The local buoy is currently reading 1.9ft @ 9 seconds out of the NNE. The local wind speeds are 13 Knots out of the NE. The waves could become a little more fun and punchy as the tide fills in and the winds die off.

See the reviews and check out this hand shaped Farina Surfboard in!

Here is the wind-field graphic illustrating the current wind flow/fetch that creates waves. Here is a look at NOAA’s Atlantic Basin outlook map to track tropical systems. Dean’s Surf Forecast suggests the uptick in surf size from Thursday will linger into Friday, then gradually decline over the weekend. Looking well ahead to next week… a sizeable ground swell and a brewing Noreaster will arrive about the same time as Hurricane Sam (forecast to become a Cat 3 Major) re-curves well out in the Atlantic in our east swell window (unfortunately, unlike Larry’s well-groomed swell).

Quote Of The Day

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
