Friday, February 16
Chatter, side-shore, semi-chop.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Friday, February 16 at 8 a.m.
We have SMALL surf in the forecast for this weekend, so we will NOT be holding the Icebox Open this weekend, we will wait. Repeat, Icebox will NOT be this weekend.
Surf at the Washout is thigh to waist high with a stomach high set.
Winds are southwest at 10 knots. There is some chatter and cross-chop in the surf with the side shore winds, but it looks OK, early.
Wind is expected to increase this afternoon from the south-west 15 to 20 with a higher gust. Look for lots of side-shore chop in the surf later today.
We have a high tide at 8:12 a.m., and a low tide will be at 2:13 p.m. The next high tide is at 8:16 p.m.
Edisto buoy is reading 3.3 ft. at 10 seconds in east/south-east swell mixed with a south/south-west wind swell 4.9 ft. at 5 seconds.
Look for thigh to waist high surf in semi-choppy, crossed-up conditions this morning. We have a mixture of south-east swell and south-west wind swell at the beach today, with increasing south west winds. Best to catch it early today at the higher tide before surf drains out mid-afternoon and gets choppy. Winds go north-east for Saturday, and surf should average knee to thigh high with a plus set in weak, choppy conditions before wind chop falls off for Sunday.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “High pressure will remain over the western Atlantic today. A cold front will drop into the area tonight and linger in the vicinity over the weekend, before lifting north as a warm front Monday. High pressure will then prevail through much of next week, before a cold front approaches late week.”
It is 59* and sunny with some high clouds this morning. Look for a partly cloudy day with a high of 71*. It’s nice at the beach.
Water temperature is right around 56*.
Sunset is at 6:05 p.m. and sunrise will be at 7:01 a.m.
