    Surf Report comments:   
    7:40 am: Small surf again today.   Wave height early looks 1/2 a foot to 1 foot.   The wind is light offshore allowing for glassy surface conditions.   Our local buoy the early wave height reading is 1.6 feet at 4 seconds, changed from yesterdays 1.0 foot at 10 seconds.      The marine forecast is predicting S winds later today.  The water temperature is measured at 64 degrees at The Pier this morning.   See the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.

    8:00 am:  Early morning photos are up and posted and you can see we have very small surf for your Saturday.    Near tiny overall, with shin to knee high semi-glassy to glassy waves breaking on the far inside.  Near fin dragging waves as it is very very small, and breaking in very shallow water.
