Tuesday 8/09/2022

Reporter: T. Strange

6:55 am: Small surf that is slightly smaller than yesterday morning at this time. Light SSW winds making it semi-glassy. Wave size 1 to occasionally up to 2 feet. The marine forecast calls for the wind to be light onshore later today. The local buoy offshore is reading 2.0 feet at 8 seconds down slightly in size from yesterdays 2.3 feet at 5 seconds. The water temperature and local wind measurements at The Pier are here and A more ‘up to the minute’ timeline of our local wind is on The Surf Station Weather Station. Here is our north side pier cam and our south side pier cam to see the ocean live.

7:45 am: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see it’s semi-glassy to glassy. it;s a long wait in between sets, as the swell slowly drops some. Still some set waves, and a few are captured in the photos. A great sunrise this morning…

Reporter: Darby

11:30 am: The form has definitely improved since yesterday, with light offshore winds creating some clean conditions. Our local winds are currently blowing out of the SE @ 6 knots, making for some small scale surf with fair form. Waves are mostly in the shin to knee high range with a low tide coming up at 11:56 and a high tide this evening at 6:38. Overall, there’s some clean, small scale surf out there to be enjoyed on the right equipment. If you want to break out the longboard or a groveler with plenty of foam, there’s a few waves out there to be had.

What is new at the shop? Here is a link to new arrivals of new goods arriving daily. Some just in used surfboards and Demo boards, to be put in our coming Demo Program.

Following a minor uptick to start the work week, the east Bahamas buoy readings upstream in our ESE swell window have dropped off a bit, so a gradual downward trend is in the forecast through the rest of the week. Here is the overview wind map, and here is the Windi Map centered on St. Augustine.on the link, then zoom out to see wind speed/direction and the fetch that produces waves. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St.Augustine Beach, and the 5 day tropical weather outlook looking for tropical swell-makers as we start to climb the steep slope of the climatology bell curve for seasonal activity. Here’s Dean’s latest Surf Forecast forever prospecting for waves.

Quote Of The Day

“I’m so stoked, I’ve always wanted to win the U.S. Open,” Lau, 28, said. “It’s been an event I’ve watched since I was a young kid and I’ve competed in Huntington Beach for so long.

“Andy Irons won it a few years back and he was my role model. This is for him and Sunny [Garcia] and all the Hawaiians. There were so many Hawaiians in finals today, I was so stoked to be a part of that.”

~Ezekiel Lau After winning the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach yesterday
