Saturday 8/13/2022

Reporter: T. Strange

6:55 am: The waves are smaller than yesterday this morning. Wave size down to 1/2 a foot to 1 foot. The surface conditions are semi-glassy with light SW winds. The marine forecast calls for the wind to be W today. The local buoy offshore is reading 1.6 feet at 8 seconds changed from yesterdays 1.3 feet at 8 seconds. The water temperature and local wind measurements at The Pier are here and A more ‘up to the minute’ timeline of our local wind is on The Surf Station Weather Station. Here is our north side pier cam and our south side pier cam to see the ocean live.

7:35 am: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see the waves are considerably smaller than yesterday. The surface conditions are semi-glassy as the wind has shifted offshore, as of report time. Looks like overall smaller surf today….

Reporter: Darby

11:00 am: The waves are still looking small scale this morning with very clean conditions. Our local winds are currently blowing out of the WSW @ 4 knots and our local buoy is reading 1.6 feet @ 9 seconds. The waves are mostly in the 1-2 foot, shin to knee high range with very good conditions. There’s a little wave out there for your small wave equipment on the right sandbar. The water temps have dropped a bit, making a dip in the ocean look very appealing during the midday heat.

What is new at the shop? Here is a link to new arrivals of new goods arriving daily. The new Kelly Slater Endorfin Twin Fins are in, new Discrafts are just in, Dark Seas hats, and some Billabong Woman’s has been moved to clearance,

Following a minor uptick to start the work week, the east Bahamas buoy readings upstream in our ESE swell window have dropped off a bit, so a gradual downward trend is in the forecast through the rest of the week. Here is the overview wind map, and here is the Windi Map centered on St. Augustine.on the link, then zoom out to see wind speed/direction and the fetch that produces waves. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St.Augustine Beach, and the 5 day tropical weather outlook looking for tropical swell-makers as we start to climb the steep slope of the climatology bell curve for seasonal activity. Here’s Dean’s latest Surf Forecast forever prospecting for waves.
