7:55 am: Early morning photos are up box #1 and you can see the ocean is stirred withe increasing wind. Small overall but there are some knee to thigh high semi-choppy waves pushing in from the ESE this morning. The swell direction is rotating as the coming massive cold front approaches…
.
1:30 pm: New mid day photos are up box #2 and you can see the waves are bigger than yesterday, and a little bigger than earlier today too. With a front pushing through the wind may cooperate and shift more offshore (before it goes all the way N) and we could have a temporary time of cleaner surf

Dean’s Surf Station Forecast calls for a minor “uptick” into mid-week along with a brief warming trend just ahead of the next strong cold front, which will be followed by a mini nor’easter building a significant increase in combo swell leading into and for the weekend. Here is a good link to accurately track real-time, near-shore surf temperatures off the NE Florida coast: the Fernandina Beach buoy. Located upstream (to the north) and closer to the coast than the St. Augustine buoy, it’s a good indicator of fluctuations in NE Florida surf temps influenced by northerly wind cold air outbreaks. 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.
