We’re all equal before a wave.
When the days are too short, chances are you are living at your best.

7:15 am: The strong swell continues today. Waves look 2-3+ feet with sideoffshore winds early causing mixed up / lumpy surface conditions. The marine forecast is calling for NE winds today. Our local buoy the early morning wave height reading is 5.9 feet at 8 seconds, changed from yesterdays 6.2 feet at 6 seconds. The water temperature is measured at 74.8 degrees offshore again this morning. You can see the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.

7:45 am: Early morning photos are up box #1 and you can see we still have sizable waves this morning. A temporay sideoffshore to offshore wind is trying to clean it up. But will it before the wind clocks back NE? The NE wind will chop it up once trhat happens. Wave size around rib to chest high with some shoulder high or larger set wave peaks. If only the wind could back around more offshore, that would clean it up more. Overall, in any event, some sizable fun looking waves are pushing through early on this Tuesday morning….

1:30 pm: New late morning & early afternoon photos are up box #2 with plenty of swell along St. Augustine Beach. Some easily chest high waves under hazy skies with some sun. Still somewhat mixed up but we are hearing from surfers who surfed that the waves are quite fun. Looks like plenty of juice so give it a go if you are into the challenge. Should be surf all the way up to and past dark tonight.…
Left up from last night:
6:15 pm: New evening photos are up box #3 and goodness the wind picked up quite a bit! Before the wind picking up, it was better, but oh well. Even with the strong onshore wind, the surfers were ripping, and some can be seen in the photos. How about 16 photo sequence of the surfer trying so hard to back door a good sized right into the wind? Swipe through the slide show and you will see. You can see his board popping out near the end in a few of the pics… but he got clipped. His head pops out the back of the wave as he gets eaten. This sort of thing happens on big choppy dayz……
This will do it until tomorrow morning… over and out…
