Surf Reports comments:  
6:55 am:   The increased surf has held again overnight.    Waves looking 3-4 feet with some larger set waves.     We have  semi-choppy to choppy conditions with the onshore winds continuing.  The marine forecast is calling for onshore winds again today.   Our local buoy is currently reading 6.9 feet @ 10 seconds , up ofmr yesterdays 6.2 feet at 9 seconds.  The water temperature is measured at 75 degrees offshore early this morning.  You can see the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.

7:35 am:  Early morning photos are up box #1 and you can see we have sizable waves for your Wednesday.   Onshore winds and choppy surf with lots of power.    Not and easy paddle out with the consistent large surf.    Looks like onshore winds all day today….

Hurricane Raphael is strengthening in the Caribbean Sea just ahead of landfall in Cuba this evening. After trouncing western Cuba, Raphael’s circulation is forecast to be centered in the Gulf of Mexico the rest of the week, spinning harmlessly while weakening. See what Dean has to say about impacts on our wind and waves in The Surf Station Forecast.  Here is an overview of a large-scale wind map and the tropical activity outlook map for the Atlantic basin.
