Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Thursday, August 1 at 8:30 a.m.
The Eastern Surfing Association’s Governor’s Cup of Surfing takes place this weekend at the Contest Shack at The Washout. Come on by and support some of South Carolina’s surfing community.
Surf at The Washout this morning is knee to thigh high. Another nice, small long-board wave this morning.
Winds are light from the north-west, and surf zone is very clean.
Look for winds from the south at 5 to 10 knots by late morning, and we see some bump in the surf for afternoon.
High tide is at 8:35 a.m., and low tide will be at 2:37 p.m. The next high tide is at 9:03 p.m.The Edisto Buoy is reading 2 ft. at 9 seconds in a predominant, medium-period east/south-east swell.  Surf is looking fairly small for the remainder of the work week as weak high-pressure is set up over our marine area. The low embedded in a tropical wave has moved north-west of the Central Caribbean and should be east of our waters Sunday and into early next week as it moves north-west. Strong trade wind swell looks to follow this system as it departs to the north as high pressure sets op south-east of Bermuda. Invest 96L developed overnight, and looks to head in our general direction into the next weekend. So there should be some waves next week, starting to build on Sunday. Looks like waves for long-term, too. We’ll keep you updated. Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “and north coastal Georgia… Weak high pressure will prevail before a broad area of low pressure develops over the Coastal Plain through late week. Weak low pressure should pass offshore late weekend into early next week. Low pressure will then remain inland while high pressure remains offshore through the middle of next week.”
It’s 78* with partly cloudy skies this morning.  Look for a high of 88* today with sun and a few clouds.
Water temperature is around 85*.
Sunrise is at 6:32 a.m. and sunset will be at 8:17 p.m.
