Edisto Buoy is reading 3.3 ft. at 10 seconds in building, medium-to-long period easterly/south-easterly swell.
Major Hurricane Maria is promising to start pushing in another big ground swell over the weekend. We should see inconsistent but increasing long period swell today in the waist high (plus) range as the tide pushes in around dark She will be smack dab in our swell window starting Saturday. We look for another big ground-swell peaking on Sunday, with plenty of ground-swell in the water to start the work week. Winds trend north/north-east at 10 to 15 knots – side-shore – for the period. Swell begins to fade late Tuesday into Wednesday of next week. Another big swell in the forecast for a historic hurricane surf season.
