Surf Report Comments

Sunday 10 / 09 / 22

Reporter: : David Smart

7:15 am: Small scale surf continues this morning, Wave height is around shin to knee high, could be an occasional slightly larger set wave based on the buoy readings offshore. Mostly clean but there is a bit of surface chop out there. It’s Breaking pretty shallow at the moment as we approach high tide, but form could improve a tad as the tide comes out a bit. Check it out for yourself on our north side pier cam. On the local buoy the early wave height reading is 1.6 feet at 8 seconds, similar to yesterdays 1.6 feet at 11 seconds, The water temperature and local wind measurements at The Pier are here and A more ‘up to the minute’ timeline of our local wind is on The Surf Station Weather Station. :

10:15 am: Very small scale surf and with increasing NE winds so somewhat choppy at mid morning…
