7:20 am: After a cold front pushed through, the wind swung offshore has clocked NW and is forecast to clock N, and increase. Waves starting out at 1 to 1.5 feet. On our local buoy the ealry morning reading is is 3.9 feet at 5 seconds, up in size but down in duration from yesterdays 2.0 feet @ 9 seconds. Overall, it’s looking small and angled from the N this morning with a high tide coming up at 7:58 this morning. The marine forecast calling for stronger N winds today. The the water temperature is measured at 71 degrees at The Pier this morning. And you can see the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.

8:05 am: Early morning photos are up and posted in box #1 and you can see the angle from the north. Small overall still but the waves are likely on the increase. There are some knee to maybe thigh high angled waves working their way in. Some lefts squirting down the beach at times, breaking real close to shore. Once the wind shifts more sideshore it will become choppier….
.
2:15 pm: New afternoon photos are up in box #2 and you can see we have drifty north windswell wave for your Monday afternoon. Choppy overall with knee to thigh high, occasionally a little larger (waist high) choppy peaks pushing down the beach. Looks like it will be quite choppy all afternoon…
.
9:00 pm: The are 70 new evening photos are up in box #3 and you can see the super north angle to the swell as it rips near sideways at The Dredge. Some bent ‘inside out’ waves! Lots of barrels and tons of current. Choppy overall with waves easily waist to chest high with some bigger peaks. We will have video up on the surf report instagram in just a bit
And this will do it until early in the morning.. over and out…
