Good morning, this is Chad with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Wednesday, September 27 at 8:30 a.m.

Surf at the washout this morning is running thigh high, maybe a waist high set and is windy. Lot of water underneath it with the high tide and the coming full moon. Could possibly be some longer lefts at the pier as the tide drops. Faces are pretty clean right now though as the wind seems to have a little mor north in it.

Winds are north/north-east at 10-12 knots, and a little gusty. We should see slight surface chop, but clean faces this morning. Current is running fairly strong to the south. Expect winds to stay strong out of the north-east around 15 knots today.

We have a low tide at 12:35 p.m. today with high tide filling in at 7:03 p.m.

The Edisto Buoy is reading 1.0 ft at 13.8 seconds in a medium period east/north-east swell. This is mixed with a 7.2 ft at 5.9 seconds north-east wind swell.

We will have unstable weather producing north-east late week and into the weekend. We should see some high angled wind-swell as a result late week. We have Tropical Storm Phillipe still heading our general direction still a bit early to tell what we may see from that system. New forecast show it turn west and head over Puerto Rico as a TD. Also lots of moisture looks to hang around Florida over the weekend some models are starting to sniff out a low being produced around Florida early next week. Lots of uncertainty but plenty of hope. We also have a system right behind Phillipe that is forecasted to be a little something. For now late work week is our best bet just keep expectations in check as strong north-east winds will be blowing.

Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast calls for: “A wedge of high pressure will build into the region today and holds into early next week, while a broad trough of low pressure persists well offshore.”

 Water temperature is around 78*.

It’s 71 and cloudy with a little rain. Look for temps around 75* today with clouds and light rain this afternoon.   

Sunrise is at 7:11 a.m., and sunset will be at 7:10 p.m.
