Here is the overview wind map. Here is the weekly weather forecast for St Augustine Beach, and the 5-day NWS Marine Forecast for Northeast Florida coastal waters. A Following the cool last weekend in February, a nice warming trend will kick in through the work week. A weak cold front will drop down the coast to near the Cape where it will stall on Thursday, then pull back north over the weekend. What does this mean for our surf size? See Dean’s Surf Forecast for speculation.

Quote of the de ja vu: “If you want to gauge the height of breaking waves from the beach, there is an easy method that will give you dependable results. Walk up and down the beach, away or toward the sea, until the tops of the breakers are in line with the horizon. Then the height of the breakers will be your height plus or minus the difference to the level of the main (surf) backwash. In other words, if your feet are still dry, the breakers must be taller than you. If you have to get into the water to line the tops up with the horizon, the waves must be shorter than you” – Tristan Gooley, How to Read Water.
