Tuesday 3/19/24 Afternoon Surf Report
Reporter: Darbs
11:45 am: We probably don’t need to tell you, but it’s cooled off significantly overnight with a drastic increase in our local winds as well. The conditions are poor, with drifty semi-choppy to choppy waves. Our local winds are currently blowing out of the N @ 17 knots with stronger gusts, adding a fair amount of texture to the waves. The waves are in the two foot or so range, on the increase with our local buoy currently reading 5.6 feet @ 6 seconds. Again, the waves are looking messy with breezy, cool conditions. It looks like our winds are projected to ease tomorrow, so hopefully the form will improve while we still have some swell.
