10:30 am: Glassy surf as we head toward mid day. Smaller than yesterday afternoon but cleaner. Here are some pictures from yesterdays surf session a the Florida Boardriders. New photos coming up after lunch.
.
2:45 pm: New photos are up box #2 taken mid morning and this afternoon and you can see we have small overall fairly clean waves although the wind is now onshore so could get some chop. It’s semi-glassy at report time with waves knee to thigh high from the ENE for the most part. How good or bad it will be likely depends on how much the wind picks up. Let’s hope it stays light….

Dean’s updated Surf Station Forecast calls for a modest uptick leading into the weekend behind the latest cold front passage. The first half of next week will see a nice warming trend ahead of another front mid-week, followed by an increasing onshore flow and a significant increase in combo swell into Friday the 13th. Here is a good link to accurately track real-time, near-shore surf temperatures off the NE Florida coast… the Fernandina Beach buoy is climbing up now after briefly bottoming out at 63.5F mid-week. 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.
