Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Monday, March 8 at 8:00 a.m.   

Surf at The Washout this morning is ankle-to-knee high.

Winds are light out of the north at 5 knots, and surf-zone is very clean.   

Look for north-east winds this afternoon at 10 knots, going south late. Surf stays small and semi-clean today.     

We have a low tide this morning at 9:55 a.m. We have a high tide at 3:56 p.m., and a low tide again right around 10 p.m.

Virtual buoy readings are showing 2.4 ft at 5 seconds in a short period north-east wind swell with a high north angle on it.  

Not much surf today through Wednesday, but swell looks begin to show signs of life Thursday afternoon as the tide comes in for some small long-board waves. Friday, we should see trade wind swell. Look for increased on-shore flow with high pressure to our north-east a low forming near the Caribbean. Friday though Sunday shows promise for some fun surf with warm temperatures.

Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast calls for: “High pressure will hover over the Southeast through tonight, then move off the coast mid to late week.”

It is currently 44* with sun. Look for a great beach day with a high of 58* and lots of sunshine.      

Water temperature is back down to 55*.  

Sunrise is at 6:39 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:22 p.m.
