Surf Report Comments

Wednesday 12/07/22

Reporter: T. Strange

6:55 am: Looks similar in size to yesterday morning at this time… Wave height is around thigh to waist high occasionally a little larger. Light NW winds are making for glassy surface conditions at first look. The marine forecast is calling for offshore then NE winds today. On our local buoy the early morning reading is 3.3 feet at 11 seconds, similar to yesterdays 3.3 feet at 10 seconds. See the ocean live on the SS’s North Side Pier Cam here

1:05 pm: Late morning photos are up in box #2 and the waves look a little smaller as we head into Wednesday afternoon. The wind is onshore now too so it’s getting as little surface chop. The buoy offshore is (temporality) trending downward….

Left up from last night:

Reporter: T. Strange

5:55 pm: Evening photos are up in box #3 and you can see there were still fun waves all the way up until dark today. Some waves a little over waist high waves at times. Semi-glassy with very light winds. It’s been a great December so far.…

For Christmas: Can’t figure out what to get that loved one but know they want it from Surf Station? We have Gift Cards available

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 generates waves. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St.Augustine Beach, and the 5 day tropical weather outlook suggests nothing (tropically) stirring. Well, the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season ended November 30th, but “All is quite on the western (Atlantic) front” doesn’t take into consideration cold fronts, nor’easters and open ocean winter lows. Consequently, while constantly perusing the latest model runs Dean extended the 7-Day Surf Forecast out 10 days. What do Nazare Portugal and St. Augustine Florida have in common? An ultra-long period, multi-day ground swell from a rare December sub-tropical storm (Owen?) in the central Atlantic!
