Good morning, this is Bates with your cold, flat Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Wednesday, December 2 at 8:30 a.m.

We received a limited number of Album, Catch Surf and Ben Gravy soft-boards. Come get them before they are gone. 

Surf at Folly is flat and cold. The surf zone is clean. It’s a better day for cold water skiing right off the beach.   

Winds are north-west at 5 to 8 knots.   

Look for north-westerly winds at 10 knots today, and surf zone stays clean, with very small waves.  

We have a high tide as of report time, and low tide will be at 3:03 p.m. The next high tide at 9:02 pm.

Virtual buoy data is not worth mentioning since all swell is headed away from our beaches.    

Cold high pressure sets up for the middle part of the week, and we don’t expect too much surf this week. We should see another shot of poor-quality, pre-frontal south-west wind swell on Saturday ahead of another cold front. As with most swells this time of year, we see choppy, drifty south “suck up” wind swell on Saturday with surf rapidly dropping after the cold front moves past Saturday night.

Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast calls for: “High pressure will persist through Thursday. A weak coastal trough will develop Thursday into Friday prior to low pressure developing over the Florida Panhandle. A cold front will then push through the area Saturday. High pressure gradually builds thereafter.

It’s a cold, sunny 35* this morning, but with very little wind, it’s not too bad. Expect cool weather today with a high of only 52* and sun with little wind. And there are very few people on the beach in the forecast today.  

Water temperature is around 62*, and will likely be dropping a bit with the cold weather.   

Sunrise is at 7:05 a.m. and sunset will be at 5:12 p.m.

Thanks for checking in with Ocean Surf Shop.
