Wednesday 3/13/24 Morning Surf Report
Wednesday, March 13th
Reporter: T. Strange
Surf Report comments:
7:45 am: Chilly at the beach again early this morning. Wave height @ 1 foot, to occasionally 1.5 feet. The wind WSW @ 4-5 knots allowing for glassy surface conditions. Our local buoy the early wave height reading is 2.0 feet at 10 seconds down from yesterdays 3.3 feet at 15 seconds. The marine forecast is predicting SW then SE winds today. The water temperature is measured at 65,7 degrees at The Pier this morning. See the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.
8:25 am: Early morning photos are posted and you can see we have smaller surf today. Small overall with waves knee high for the most part. We may need to downgrade the above text data as the waves are considerably smaller than yesterday. Yes there could be a freak high high wave, but most the waves are down to shin to knee high. The good news is the tide is pushing in and many of the sandbars are becoming ‘summerlike’ with groundswell waves peeling across the sandbars at the mid and higher tide
9:00 am; I just downgraded our surf factor as yes it is looking a lot smaller than yesterday.
