7:30 am: Early morning photos are up box #1 and you can see th waves are small and choppy . Shin to knee high and bumpy chops from the north is the call as we start up the day. Cloudy and cool with an increasing NNW to N to NNE wind .

3:45 pm: New late afternoon photos are up box #2 and you can see it’s choppy and drifty with cold N swell waves that are on the increase. It’s up to about 1-2++ feet and increasing at a good clip. It should continue to get bigger as we get closer to dark…

Dean’s updated Surf Station Forecast calls for a modest 1-2′ NE swell to trickle in for the weekend, and the chilly conditions of the past week will gradually moderate. The first half of next week will see a nice warming trend and smaller surf ahead of another front arriving mid-week, followed by an increasing onshore flow and a significant increase in combo swell leading into next weekend. Here is a good link to accurately track real-time, near-shore surf temperatures off the NE Florida coast… the Fernandina Beach buoy will start a slow climb after bottoming out in the low 60’sF this. Located upstream (to the north) much closer to the coast than the St. Augustine buoy, it’s a good indicator for dropping and rising surf temps dictated by winter cold air outbreaks followed by warming trends. Here is an overview of a large-scale, real-time wind map to track the shifting winds associated with the fronts and lows that produce our waves.
