Time of Report: 8:20
Wave Forecast: Knee/thigh. Slight Bigger
Traffic: moderately busy

THE SURF CAMERA IS MESSED UP. CREWS ARE FIXING THE ROOFING ON THE CONTEST SHACK. WE’LL GET IT FIXED A.S.A.P. Good Morning. This is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report for Thursday, Aug. 10 at 8:20 a.m.
Waves at The Washout are knee to thigh high. There is a slightly bigger set. Looks OK for the longboard this morning. The surf has dropped off a little bit overnight.
Winds are north/north-east at 5 knots, surf is bumpy and soft, but fairly clean.
We expect south-east winds at 5 to 10 knots this afternoon and surf should stay fairly clean today.
The first high tide will be at 10:10 a.m. Low tide will be at 4:16 p.m.
Edisto Buoy is reading 2.3 ft. at 5 seconds in short-period north-east wind swell.
We have clean, soft waves out there this morning average knee to thigh high for the longboard. We do expect an increase in south/south-east swell into the waist high range for Friday and into the weekend as a low pressure system near the Bahamas produces some wind and storms to our south. We also continue to monitor a low near the Lesser Antilles moving in our general direction. Winds trend south for the weekend, and surf should be bumpy.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “A front across the area will lift north this afternoon. High pressure will gradually rebuild from the Atlantic Friday through early next week. A cold front may approach the area later Monday or Tuesday.”
It is 76* with clouds this morning. Expect clouds and sun today and a high of 83* with a 20% chance of rain.
Sunset is at 8:09 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:39 a.m.
