Surf Report Comments

Saturday, April 26

Reporter: T. Strange

Surf Reports comments:

7:15 am: The waves look similar in size to yesterday with waves this morning @ 2-3 feet. The wind is super light early allowing for semi-glassy conditoons early. The form is fair to good with the marine forecast calling for the wind come onshore SE later today. On the local buoy, the early morning reading is 3.3 feet at 9 seconds, the same as yesterdays 3.3 feet at 9 seconds . You can see the ocean live by checking the surf station cams for a live look.

7:45 am: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see we have waves again for your Saturday. Lumpy and not super clean/lined up early, but it’s semi-glassy to glassy with fair to good form overall. Some waist to chest high waves if you wait around long enough. Sunny skies, and our bet is the very warm air temperatures coming today will warm the water up nicely. Early this morning the water temperature measured offshore is 74.7 and could rise from there……

Reporter: Darbs

11:30 am: There’s still some waves on tap for your midday report, with a bit of texture but nothing too extreme. Waves are looking to be in the waist to chest high range with our local winds currently blowing out of the S @ about 7 knots. Overall, it’s looking a little disorganized but like it’s breaking a bit better than this early morning’s high tide. We have a low tide approaching at 1:20 this afternoon, so I would check out your favorite outgoing tide sandbar if you’re looking to surf this midday.

Left up from last night:

7:30 pm: New evening photos are up in box #3 and you can see some waves pushing in around the pier at the higher tide this evening. I believe that is Kason Kling on a nice left in the 3 photo sequence . The waves are not very consistent but still some sets pushing in, and should be waves all the way up ’till dark tonight.

In case we don’t make it back before dark for yet another update, You can see the ocean live by viewing the Surf Station Cam Page here all the way up to dark tonight….

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.
