Surf Report Comments

Tuesday, October 3

Reporter: T. Strange

Surf Report comments:

7:15 am: The large, choppy as the NE’er continues. Wave height 2.5 to 3.5 feet, with larger set waves. It’s mixed up and choppy with windy conditions at the beach. Our local buoy early wave height measurement is 5.9 feet at 6 seconds down from yesterdays 7.2 feet at 7 seconds. The marine forecast is calling for NE winds @ 15-20 knots today. You can watch the waves firsthand on our live surf cam page.

7:50 am: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see the windy conditions are making for not clean waves. Some size, but on second look, it may not be as big as yesterday. Is it smaller? Probably so, as the buoy wave height measurements are not as large. Still plenty of size though as the NE carries on and on…

12:25 pm: New mid morning and early afternoon photos are up in box #2 and you can see some size! Looks bigger than at daybreak for sure. I think it’s the lulls and surges of the swell as the wind backs off or lulls and then increases offshore. Up and down and shifting slight angles and speed which alters our swell along the beach. Some lefts pushing down the beach at times as you can see in the last few photos of the slideshow…..

8:25 pm: New evening photos are up in box #3 taken about an hour before sunset and then after sunset. Onshore winds and choppy surf – and there is plenty of surf !

This will do it until ealry in the morning.. over and out…

The North Side Cam is back up! Here ya go, North Side Cam link

Here is the overview wind map, tropical Atlantic Map and here is the Map centered on St. Augustine. Click.on the link, then zoom out to see wind speed/direction and the fetch that generates our waves. Here is the weekly weatherforecast for St.Augustine Beach, and the 5-day NWS Marine Forecast for Northeast Florida coastal waters. September was very good to FLA east coasters with a decent run of tropical-origin sizeable surf. Well, we have another sizeable swell compliments of a week long nor’easter that started on the full moon at the end of the month and will continue well into October. When will the wind let up and go offhore? See the 7-Day Surf Forecast for the latest.
