Surf Report Comments

Wednesday 3/22/2/23

Reporter: T. Strange

7:20 am: Not as windy at the beach this morning. Light onshore winds with still plenty of swell. Wave height looks about 2-3 feet early. The wind is very light ESE with the marine forecast calling for SE winds later today. . On the local buoy the early morning wave height measurement is 6.2 feet at 6 seconds changed from yesterdays 6.6 feet at 6 seconds. You can see several surf spots on one page live, here. For a fast link to tides and more see our weather station here

7:55 am: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see some strong swell in the pics. Some chest high waves. The swell is beginning to spread out a little more and would be oh so good if the wind were offshore. High tide on the inside could be quite fun. That last left sequence wave in the slide show photos looks fun already….

12:15 pm: New mid day photos are up in box #2 and you can see there is still some size and power to the swell. Not very clean but not too messy either. Some fun drops and a bit of a line as well. Light to moderate onshores.…

5:55 pm: Early evening photos are up in box #3 and you can see the wind is not too strong so it’s not too choppy. Breaking on the outside sandbar @ late afternoon and looks like we are setting up for fun waves on a middle or more inside sandbar as we get closer to dark….

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 waves. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St.Augustine Beach, and the marine forecast for Northeast Florida. The first 2 weeks in March had persistent SW wind, modest-sized (generally clean) surf and warm beach weather. That all changed (sorry spring breakers) with colder weather and more sizeable surf following the second strong cold front in a week. How long will the chill last? See the 7-Day Surf Forecast for the answer, along with the head high surf by middle of the week.
