Surf Reports

6:30 pm:  New late afternoon photos are up and posted and you can see some fun looking waves around the pier.   it was very spotty, meaning a good wave here and there but not really breaking in one set spots.  Maybe that is why not many surfers out at all.   Likely there are better surf spots around town….

8:00 am:  Early morning photos are up and posted and you can see the waves are not clean with the sideshore winds.  It’s more sectiony and mixed up with cross chop from the south.  Wave size looks about thigh to rib high.  Could be a few set waves a little bigger than that, and of course some waves could be smaller than that.  The wind may pick up south which would chop it up.  Could it swing/clock a litte more offshore and clean some spots up?  Anything is possible...

2:45 pm: New afternoon photos are up and posted and you can see we have some fun looking waves!  Some chest high waves for sure. Breaking outside and rolling all the way through at times. I just missed Gabe Kling surfing and killing it so not a lot of ripping going on with him out of the water.   There was a guy ripping down by the pier and you can see him on one of the lefts.   He didn’t make that wave so I didn’t run the last few photos of empty white water. Looks like there will be waves all the way to and past dark tonight, just like last night….

8:00 am:  Early morning photos are up and posted and you can see we still have some size for your Tuesday.   A little smaller overall, with some waist to chest high waves.  There could be some shoulder high peaks in some drops.   Mushy on the outside as we approach the higher tide.  The swell may have dropped enough that it wont break on the far outside at the full high tide.   Onshore winds are in the forecast  today, so expect somewhat choppy conditions….

8:00 am:  Early morning photos are up and posted in and you can see we still have sizable waves for your Monday.   It actually looks a little better than at daybreak as it’s not near as messy as it has been.   Yesterday was so blown out, but it’s nto looking that way this morning.  Lots of power with a strong up windswell / groundswell mix on tap as we start the work week….

1:15 pm: New afternoon photos are up you can see we have super large blown out surf .  Some well overhead peaks on the outside.   Yesterday the surfing was strong south, and today it’s strong north.   Lots of swell on the buoy offshore and along the beach expect lots of beach erosion with the strong sidfeshore current… 

7:25 am: Still some sizable surf out there today, wave height is in the waist to shoulder high range this morning, pretty mixed up and choppy but there are some more ridable faces at times, could change a bit there as the tide starts to switch as well.  On our local buoy the early wave height reading is 7.5 feet at 6 seconds, up from yesterdays  5.2 feet at 8 seconds.  The marine forecast is calling for stronger NE winds today w/ occasional gusts at gail force.   The water temperature is measured at 65.3  degrees at The Pier this morning.   See the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.

12:00 pm: The waves have increased dramatically overnight, with waves in the 3 to 4 foot range with fair conditions at report time. Waves are looking to be in the chest high range or so, with big open barrels on the sets. Our local buoy is currently reading 4.9 feet @ 9 seconds, making for that big increase in size overnight. The conditions are fairly clean but just a little jumbled at report time, with our local winds currently blowing out of the W @ 11 knots. We’re likely going to see the waves get a bit more organized if those stronger offshore winds continue, although that will gradually decrease the size as well if those winds hold up out of the West. Overall, there are some large sets to be had out there and some makeable open barrels on the sets. Our next low tide is coming up just after 2 this afternoon, so those waves will likely start opening up even more and breaking closer to shore.

8:05 am:   Early morning photos are up and posted and you can see we have sizable south swell waves for your Saturday.   Wave size @ thigh to rib high with some large set waves in the chest to shoulder high range.   Some rights pushing up the beach!   The wave are already looking fun and could get better if the wind clocks more offshore as forecast   .

4:30 pm: Late afternoon photos are up and posted and you can see we have increased size for your Friday happy hour.    New south ‘suck up’ swell with wave looking larger @ around thigh to rib high and on the increase .  The surf is coming up!  

8:30 am:   Early morning photos are up and you can see we are starting the day with very very very small, choppy surf.   Maybe a lower knee high set wave peak, lol.   That’s about it for now, but the good news is, the surf should come up as the day goes on, particularly later in the day.   See the increasing trend already on the Ponce Inlet Buoy to our south.    The waves are loading up in the pipe…
