Saturday 3/9/24 Afternoon Surf Report
Saturday, March 9
Reporter: T. Strange
Surf Report comments:
1:00 pm: New surf and beach photos are up with the photos at the front end of the slide show taken this morning from FA where the launching of ‘The Dredge‘ is now taking place. The haven’t pumped enough sand to make a difference yet, but that is coming. Some seemingly offshore wind waves there at the time of the photos, around 10 am. But the wind is sideshore for the most part so it’s not super clean The photos later in the slide show were taken around noon at 10th Street. A few outside peaks and some inside racers there. Overall, not may surfers on it as it’s ‘in between tides’ and we are waiting for key spots or two to catch the swell better. Will it get better before dark? We will see…
