Surf Report comments:
6:50 am: The waves are similar in size early this morning. Misty at the beach early, with the wave size 1-2 feet with some occasional slightly larger set waves today. Our local buoy the early wave height reading is 3.3 feet at 10 seconds, the same as yesterdays 3.3 feet at 10 seconds . The marine forecast is calling for E winds today. The water temperature is measured at 61.9 degrees at The Pier this morning. See the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.
7:30 am: Early morning photos are up and you can see we have waves for your Tuesday. Not very big but not too small withe the wave size @ knee to thigh high, with some occasional larger set wave to around waist high at some spots at times. The surface conditions are semi-glassy to semi-choppy with the wind light sideonshore, and is forecast to roll more onshore as the day goes on. Not too strong of wind though, so it is likely not going to blow the surf out. So ridable, and even fun surf today, partially at key spots and at the right tide.
