7:45 am: Early morning photos are up box #1 and you can see the extreme N angle in the waves. You can also see how windblown it is withe sideoffshore winds. Very chilly early with our first real cold snap of the year. The waves themselves look ot be increasing with some over knee high waves maybe thigh high on some peaks and lines. The wind is likely creating larger surf well south of St. Augustine…

2:45 pm: New afternoon photos are up box #2 and taken ofmr under and around the pier and you can see some angled north swell lines pushing down the beach. The wave size is mostly around knee to thigh high on sets, and semi-glassy to semi-choppy, depending on the angle of the wind at the time. That’s Gabe Kling out on the foilboard ripping!

Strong cold fronts will periodically push through Florida, scouring out tropical moisture in the Caribbean Sea in November as the 2024 hurricane season comes to a close. Cold fronts and coastal lows will determine our wind, waves and water temps. The unseasonably cold (January-like!) weather this week will drop surf temps and ;ead to the longest (in several months) small to flat spell next week leading up to Thanksgiving Day. There is hope for improvement over the holidays in The Surf Station Forecast. Here is an overview of a large-scale, real-time wind map to track the shifting winds associated with the fronts and lows that produce our waves.
