Surf Report Comments

Sunday, May 18

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.

Left up from yesterday…

6:30 pm: Evening note: After Darby’s good surf photos in box# 2 … for our evening post. the wind turned onshore and it’s small, so instead of showing that, we are posting some more phtos from this morning, in box #3. It as a great day at the 40th Annual Hugh Shaw Memorial Longboard Classic!’

For this evening… you can see the ocean live on our cams page here all the way until dark tonight. .

We will be back tomorrow with a fresh update….. over and out..

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.
