8:00 am: Early morning photos are up and posted in box #1 and you can see we have surf again today! Offshore winds with ‘spray in your face ‘ type waves, which can be super fun when that same wind opens up the tube! It may be a little bigger than the early morning call. The buoy is actually up from yesterday. Will the wind beat it smaller? Or will the swell hold? We will see. The good news is, it’s fairly clean, although a little windblown with the stiff and gusty offshore wind.
* Just in from Dean… “The underlying long period east swell, though not huge, should hold fairly well with the afternoon incoming tide (regardless of the moderate to strong offshore wind, which should relax some late in the afternoon) as upstream buoys reported 3-4′ mid-day with a 10-11 sec period.”
.
1:00 pm: New mid day photos are up and posted in box #2 and you can see we have some lines on the outside sandbar with strong offshore winds blowing into the swell. Dean’s call for the size to hold is happening as swell is still fairly strong. The right sandbar may be quite fun, Be ready for ‘spray in your face’ as the wind is quite strong at times…
