7:00 am: Very chilly early on this Tuesday morning.  Waves from the N with the waves size @ 1-2 feet.    Sideshore N winds at 12-17 mph early.    Our marine forecast is calling for increasing N winds today .       On the local buoy offshore our current wave heigh reading is 4.9 feet at 5 seconds, up a little in size from yesterdays  4.3 feet at 6 seconds.  You can see the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.
.
7:25 am:   Early morning photos are up box #1 and you can see we choppy waves for your Tuesday.    Small overall but seems to be on the increase with waves knee to thigh high and on the increase early. The swell angle has rotated slightly since yesterday, which is a sign the swell may increase today….

Dean is calling for a cold week ahead and a sizeable (especially south) winter swell in the Surf Station Surf Forecast.
Here is a good link to track near-shore wave height/period/direction and water temperature just off the NE Florida coast: the Fernandina Beach buoy. Located upstream (to the north) and closer to the coast than the St. Augustine buoy, it’s a good indicator of fluctuations in NE Florida surf conditions influenced by winter cold fronts. 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.
