Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Monday, Oct. 14 at 8:30 a.m.    

The Carolina Surf Film Festival is coming up THIS weekend – that’s Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19. Tickets and more information available at carolinasurffilmfestival.com.

We will have the full line of Billabong and O’Neill full-suits on the floor this week, so come take a peak and get ready to surf all winter long.  

Surf at The Washout this morning is knee high with rare thigh high sets.  It is very soft at the high tide, early.

We have trace winds from the north-west, and the ocean is oil-glass this morning.  

We see winds trend more westerly through the day picking up into the 5 knot range. Look for cleanish, small waves all day.

We have a high tide at 8:43 a.m, and a low tide will be at 2:54 p.m. The next high tide is at 9:06 p.m.

The Edisto Buoy is reading 1.6 ft. at 12 seconds in a long-period east/south-east ground swell, and 2.6 ft. at 4 seconds in a short-period south-west wind swell.

Look for clean, small long-board style waves all day today as a stationary front effects our area. Surf continues small into early this week before we see a decent cold front approach our area on Wednesday. This front will produce a quick hit and run shot of south wind-swell mid-week. Weds afternoon could be the call. Tropics have gone quiet, but this is the time of year to keep an eye on near-shore development. We will keep you posted.

It’s 71* and cloudy this morning. Time for some neoprene. Look for a high of 83* and sun behind passing clouds this afternoon.    

Water temperature has dropped to 76*. Get a spring suit.     

Sunrise is at 7:23 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:47 p.m.      

Thanks for checking in with Ocean Surf Shop.
