Surf Report Comments

Thursday, August 3rd

Reporter: T. Strange

6:45 am: The ocean looks a little stirred and slightly bigger in size at 1-2 feet early this Thursday morning. The wind is onshore ESE crossing over the mostly ENE swell. On our local buoy, the early wave height measurement is 3.3 feet at 4 seconds up in size from yesterday’s 2.0 feet at 8 seconds.

Some fast links to check local conditions: Here is the local buoy. And the marine forecast , the pier data that includes water temperature. Our weather station that include the current swell direction.+ comments on todays weather. And our 6 cams with one look page.

8:05 am: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see the waves look a little bigger than yesterday. It;s a little mixed up early, thats due to the wind not being offshore but onshore this morning. The marine forecast calls for the wind to increase onshore later today, so look for somewhat choppy conditions today. Hey at least the surf is bigger.…

Misc: Anyone need their photos or video edited? We have a new service here at the Surf Station – video editing! 25 year old Hunter Strange is starting a small editing business and will edit for you at a reasonable cost and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Click here for more info.

Here is the overview wind map, tropical Atlantic Map and here is the Map centered on St. Augustine. Click.on the link, then zoom out to see wind speed/direction and the fetch that generates our waves. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St.Augustine Beach, and the 5-day NWS Marine Forecast for Northeast. A small east swell will be the rule through most of the work week in Dean’s 7-Day Surf Forecast, Anything out in the tropics? This may be one to watch with a better than even chance to become TS Emily mid-week and produce a modest easterly ground swell late in the week.(similar to Don)
