8:15 am: Early morning photos are up box #1 and you can see we have wobbly, somewhat choppy waves. Not very consistent, with the set waves a little over waist high. Many of the waves are smaller than that, around thigh high, and somewhat crossed up with the sidshore northerly wind. The latest wind forecast has it not as strong onshore as a previous forecast, so taking note of this…
.
2:15 pm: New afternoon photos are up box #2 and the wind died after the late morning rain so the surf has improved. Not near as choppy, in fact becoming semi-glassy (at report time) now that the sun is out. Some waist high plus waves at times. Sort of soft at report time but the buoy is hanging in there so we could see a bounce back in the swell….

Reporter: T. Strange
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.
