Very choppy south-east wind swell.

Time of Report: 8:30 a.m.
Wave Forecast: Stomach to chest. Head sets (occ. plus).
Traffic: Moderately busy.
Parking: Still some to be found.

Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Monday, May 28 at 8:0 a.m.
We would like to wish everyone a great Memorial Day, and give a shout out to the Warrior Surf Foundation as we remember America’s fallen military members.
Surf at the Washout is running waist to chest high with shoulder high sets. There is a bigger set to a foot over-head at times.
Winds are south/south-east at 20 knots. Surf is very choppy.
Winds are expected to remain from the south at 20 knots this afternoon. Surf stays choppy today.
We are coming off a high tide, low tide will be at 1:42 p.m. The the next high tide will be at 8:14 p.m.
The Edisto buoy reading 9.2 ft. at 9 seconds in short period SSE wind swell mix.
We see tropical storm Alberto moving up into the Tennessee Valley through mid-week. With high pressure to our north-east we see on-shore flow continue pushing up choppy wind swell in the chest high (plus) range today and into tomorrow. Surf drops some and should be cleaner by Wednesday as the storm dissipates. Look for a long-board wave with cleaner conditions for Thursday, before surf falls off Friday and into the weekend.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “Deep tropical moisture will remain in place across the region through the middle of the week as Tropical Cyclone Alberto tracks northward toward the Tennessee Valley. Ridging will strengthen south of the area as low pressure develops to the north for the second half of the week.”
It is 76* and cloudy this morning. Look for a high of 80* with rain and thunderstorms today.
Water temperature is now up to around 79*.
Sunset is at 8:20 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:12 a.m.
