Surf Report Comments

Monday, October 18th, 2021

Reporter: T. Strange

7:20 am: Wave height looks smaller at first look. Super weird because it should be bigger, based on the increased buoy reading offshore on our local buoy. Wave size looks knee to thigh high with some few and far between larger set waves. The wind is brisk sideonshore. The local buoy is running 3.9 feet at 9 seconds way up from yesterdays 2.6 feet at 8 seconds reading . The marine forecast calls for continued onshore winds. 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

5:30pm – Surf looks fun at the pier this evening, Waves are about Thigh to Waist high and occasionally larger. The local buoy is currently reading 3.6ft @ 6 seconds out of the NNE. The local winds are currently running 17 – 20 Knots out of the N. There is some size so try to get out there and snag a few!

We added more search filters to make it easier for you to shop and find the exact wetsuit you are looking for.

Our Gift Guide is up and ready for the season

New at the shop: We are now allowing multiple board trade-ins. Bring in several of your old boards and pick out a new surfboard, here at The Surf Station.

Here is the wind-field graphic illustrating the current wind flow/fetch that creates waves. We may soon be deleting the NOAA’s Atlantic Basin outlook map of tropical systems as the season is winding down. Dean’s Surf Forecast details the impact the strongest cold front (to date) plowing through early Sunday will have on our surf conditions.
