7:50 am: Early morning photos are up box #1 and you can see it’s choppy this morning. The new north wind is increasing and bumping up Ma Ocean. The good news is it will increase our surf as the day goes on, although it will become quite choppy.

10:00 am: Mid morning photos are up in box #2 . The buoy has increased to 4.9 feet @ 11.8 seconds NE. We have an increase in wave size since earlier this morning. Still choppy with winds out of the NNE 10-17kts. Waves are currently running in the knee to waist high range with some larger peaks in the stomach plus range, conditions should continue build through out the day, especially after the low tide at 12:12pm.

5:55 pm: New evening photos are up box #3 and you can see it’s choppy, with increasing surf. Some waist to chest high waves and becoming more and more drifty at the pier where the photos were taken. With that said, some fun looking peaks with a bit of a line, if you do not mind the chop. The good news is, it’s getting bigger.….
This will do it until tomorrow.. over and out..

Following small, clean waves last weekend with generally light local wind, Dean says we are in for another extended period of strong onshore winds witch will make for a monstrous-size, howling wind swell for Halloween.
