6:30 am: It looks like the waves have decreased overnight, with waves in the half a foot to maybe one foot range. It’s breaking weak and close to shore, with waves in the shin to maybe knee high range, but I’m not seeing many knee high sets at report time. The local buoy reading is coming in at 2.3 feet @ 4 seconds, much shorter interval than we saw earlier this week. Overall, there’s a fair amount of morning sickness and just not much out there in the way of waves early. The marine forecast calling for SE winds @ 13-16 knots later today. The water temperature is measured at 76.5 degrees at The Pier this morning. You can see the ocean live by viewing The Surf Station Cam Page here.

1:30 pm: The waves have pretty much bottomed out at report time, with waves in the half a foot to maybe one foot range. There’s more texture than early this morning, with our local winds currently blowing out of the ESE @ 8 knots. It’s breaking shallow and close to shore at report time, not looking rideable in many places. We have a high tide approaching just before 5 this evening, so there might be a small push with that incoming tide. Overall, it’s looking very small scale and not very clean but it’s still gorgeous out on the sand if you want to have a beach day.
