Tuesday 1/24/23

Reporter: T. Strange

7:05 am: Wave height this morning is small overall again today. Wave size around 1/2 a foot to 1 foot . It;s semi-choppy to choppy as the wind is sideonshore NE early. The local marine forecast calling for E winds today. On the local buoy our early morning wave height measurement is 3.0 feet at 4 seconds up in size from yesterdays 2.3 feet at 5 seconds. You can see the ocean live here on our north side pier cam.

7:55 am: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see there are only small scale NE windschop peaks and lines for your Tuesday. Brisk sideonshore winds start out the day. Here is a look at our south side cam on You Tube….

Here is the overview wind map, and here is the Windi Map centered on St. Augustine. Click.on the link, then zoom out to see wind speed/direction and the fetch that generates waves. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St.Augustine Beach, and the marine forecast for Northeast Florida. After a series of warm and cold fronts rapidly changing winds with several small/close period “suck-up” SE wind swells and yo-yo warm/cold weather, the updated 7-Day Surf Forecast hints that a long period ground swell will filter by month’s end.
