8:00 am: Early morning photos are up box #1 and you can see we have cleaner waves for your Thursday. It’s a little smaller overall than yesterday as the buoy drops down offshore.

Left up from yesterday afternoon:
4:00 pm: New mid afternoon photos are up box #3 and you can see we have a slight increase in our waves this afternoon. More of the swell is angling in, with some easily thigh high waves at times. A line to it, although the lines are a little bit choppy at times, with sideonshore winds. Sunny and nice and with a wetsuit some of the surfers are having fun on the south side of the pier this afternoon…..

Winter weather has arrived now that strong cold fronts are progressively pushing through Florida, scouring out tropical moisture with cold/dry continental air with the end of the eventful 2024 hurricane season. Dean’s updated Surf Station Forecast calls for only a modest uptick at times during an extended period of cold January-like weather. The coldest air of the season is here, and the mediocre waves and dropping water temps make you wish that trip to the islands was booked for early December. Here is a good link to accurately track real-time, near-shore surf temperatures off the NE Florida coast: the Fernandina Beach buoy which measured 66F on Tuesday. It is upstream and closer to the coast than the buoy 40 nautical miles ENE of St. Augustine. Here is an overview of a large-scale, real-time wind map to track the shifting winds associated with the fronts and lows that produce our waves.
