    Thursday,  March 14th
    Reporter: T. Strange 
    Surf Report comments:   
    7:35 am: Chilly at the beach again early this morning.   Wave height down to 6 inches to 1 foot.   The wind is cool WNW @ 8-9 knots allowing for glassy surface conditions.   Our local buoy the early wave height reading is 1.0 feet at 10 seconds down from yesterday’s  2.0 feet at 10 seconds.      The marine forecast is predicting NE winds today.  The water temperature is measured at 65,8 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 in box #1 and you can see we have very small waves for your Thursday.    Small overall with waves only around shin to barely knee high.   It’s glassy with the light offshore wind.   With the size down on the local buoy, the surf will be very much smaller today.  Our best hope is for an incoming tide push, which will be happening all morning long.  And with offshore winds at report time, there could be some longboard peelers at key spots….
