Surf Report Comments
Friday, January 21th, 2022
Reporter: Big Dave
7:15 am: The surf is quite small starting out the day today. Surf is in the shin to knee high range. The wind is N blowing about 12-14 knots with the marine forecast calling for harder north winds between 20-25 knots later in the day. Our local buoy is currently reading 2.3 feet at 3-4 seconds, down in size from yesterdays 2.0 feet at between 8 and 12 seconds. Here is the view from the north side of the pier.
.
4:05 pm: Increasing N windswell surf as we head toward Friday evening. Choppy and drifty with a developing north current as the wind continues to increase. Afternoon photos are up in box #2 and you can see the angled N swell choppy surf there and check it all the way up till dark tonight from the view from the north side of the pier with The Surf Station Cam…..

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. Dean’s Surf Forecast suggests the week-long small spell will reverse following the latest cold front, and the first in a series of decent winter swells will build over the weekend.
