7:05 am: The waves look smaller than yesterday. Glassy and clean just real small @ 1/2 a foot to 1 foot. Our local buoy the early wave height reading is 2.0 feet at 12 seconds down from yesterdays 3.6 feet at 13 seconds. The marine forecast is calling for W winds today. The water temperature is measured at 58.6 degrees at The Pier this morning. See the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.

7:45 am: Early morning photos are up and posted in box #1 and you can see we have smaller waves for your Saturday. It’s now super small overall with waves down to shin to knee high. It’s glassy near shore with offshore winds on this Saturday. Bright sunny skies that will eventually warm up these cool temperatures .

A Following a cool late February weekend, a nice warming trend will kick in next week. Will the work week warm weather have waves? See Dean’s Surf Forecast for ideas.

Quote of the de ja vu: “If you want to gauge the height of breaking waves from the beach, there is an easy method that will give you dependable results. Walk up and down the beach, away or toward the sea, until the tops of the breakers are in line with the horizon. Then the height of the breakers will be your height plus or minus the difference to the level of the main (surf) backwash. In other words, if your feet are still dry, the breakers must be taller than you. If you have to get into the water to line the tops up with the horizon, the waves must be shorter than you” – Tristan Gooley, How to Read Water.
