7:55 am: Early morning photos are up in box #1 and you can see we have overcast skies and choppy surf this morning. Some rain blew in off the ocean but that didn’t help the messy surf conditions. The good news is the insceasing onshore winds are and will increase the surf. The wind is forecast to ramp up, and so is the surf. Waves starting out around knee to thigh high but already some bigger peaks showing. It’s crossed up and junky early. It’s gonna get worse before it gets better, but eventually it will get better….

1:00 pm: The waves have come up quite a bit from this morning, with waves in the 2 to 3 foot range with some much larger sets around the pier. The conditions are only fair, with our local winds currently blowing out of the ESE @ 14 knots, adding a fair amount of chop and texture to the waves. Our local buoy is currently reading 6.2 feet @ 6 seconds, so there is plenty of swell out there on the buoy. Waves are in the waist to chest high range on sets. It’s looking a little disorganized out there, but there’s a crew around the pier and the dredge who are finding some open barrels on the inside. If you don’t mind the mess, there’s some sizeable, powerful waves out there to be had.
