Reporter: Darbs

Surf Reports comments:

6:45 am: The waves are looking pretty similar in size compared to yesterday morning, with waves in the 1/2 a foot to occasionally 1 foot range. Surface conditions are glassy with the wind W @ around 7 mph early. Our marine forecast is calling for increased SW winds throughout the day. On the local buoy, the early morning reading is 1.6 feet at 8 seconds, the same as yesterday morning’s 1.6 feet at 8 seconds. You can see the ocean live on our cams page here.

Reporter: T. Strange

10:30 am: New mid morning photos are up in box #2 and you can see we a super glassy ocean for your Sunday mid morning. Quite small waves overall with only shin to maybe a lower knee high waves. Clean and glassy though, and it’s good to be out there.…..

2:15 pm: New afternoon photos are up in box #2 and you can see the wind has turned onshore. Very small choppyish surf now. Some finger sandbars around the pier allowing for some occasional ridable waves on this hot Sunday afternoon…..

Here is a link to Dean’s 7-Day Surf Station Surf Forecast. 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.
