Friday 9 / 30 / 22

Reporter: T. Strange

7:15 am: The wind has shifted offshore which will slowly clean up the surf. The large Victory at Sea surf of yesterday will be cleaning up as the day goes on. The surf is still stormy looking early, but improving. Wave size looks 4-6 feet at daybreak . On the local buoy the early wave height reading is 12.8 feet at 9 seconds changed slightly from yesterday early mornings reading of. 13.8 feet at 8 seconds, up from yesterdays 6.6 feet at 6 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 a view of the live surf this morning surf via our north side pier cam

8:15 am: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see there are large groundswell waves. Very large peaks and lines that are changing from crazy wonky out of control waves to clean, groomed groundswell waves. Hurricane surf, and it can be wild. Offshore winds can make it great. I just upped the surf factor from a 3.5 to a 4.5 as it looks better than at daybreak. It could be a great surf day today….

12:45 pm: Late morning photos are up in box #2 and you can see some large groundswell lines! Very angled N swell as Hurricane Ian moves closer to landfall in South Carolina

Did you see department: Check out this graph on our water temperature. What a drop!

Left up from yesterday:

News Department: Looks like we lost a good chuck of The Flagler Beach Pier. We have video here

Goofball Department: Boys will be boys action caught on the Surf Station Pier 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 generates the waves we ride. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St.Augustine Beach, and the 5 day tropical weather outlook. Dean’s 7-Day Surf Forecast is calling for the wind to clock offshore with size dropping rather quickly after Ian depart to the north.

Surf Shop Challenge

Yesterday Mike Pimental, Ryan Ripko, Eric Taylor, and myself competed for Surf Station at the Oakley Shop Challenge in NSB. Our team was solid, the waves were fun, and yet we came up 100 times short of our potential and failed to make the final. Mike P, NSB local, was shredding prior to our heat…

Glad to say I got my first session under my belt, the first is always rough after traveling for 20 something hours. I surfed Cangu with Rizal and Taylor Steele, I think my cutbacks and floaters landed me a part in his next video… Cangu is a super wedged beach break with a crazy rip…
