8:00 am: Early morning photos taken before and after sunrise are up box #1 and you can see we have a northerly angled swell for your Saturday. Cold with lots of north angle to the new swell starting up. Wave size is likely around knee to thigh high and may get bigger, although a lot of the swell is going by us to the south.

12:15 pm: We have much cooler temps on the beach today, with our local temperatures coming in at a cool 47 degrees at report time. The waves are small-scale and have quite a bit of drift, with our local winds currently coming out of the N @ 17 knots. The waves are in the one to maybe two foot range with poor form, thanks to those onshore winds. There is some swell out there, with our local buoy reading 4.6 feet @ 6 seconds, but for now it’s looking like we’re going to see onshore winds in the double digits for the next few days.

Left up from yesterdays:
4:20 pm: Over 30 new late afternoon photos are up and posted in box #2 and you can see we have super clean lines. They are very small, but very clean. Some fun noseride waves! Mostly around knee high and peeling both left and right at times…
