Monday, Jan. 20
Very choppy and drifty.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Monday, January 20 at 8:30 a.m.
Surf at Folly this morning is ankle to knee high.
Winds are north/north-east averaging 15 to 20 knots, and surf is very drifty, choppy and side-shore.
Winds rotate north today at 20 knots, making for a side-shore, choppy, drifty surf zone all day.
We have a low tide at 10:15 a.m., and a high tide will be at 4:11 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is reading 3.9 ft. at 5 seconds in a short period east/south-east wind swell.
We see building north-east wind swell this week, with a high angled and mostly choppy conditions. There will be plenty of drift down the beach. Lots of North north-east swell in the Atlantic heading to Florida. Late week, some models are showing a low develop in the gulf and moving near our marine area. But for now its going to be choppy, drifty and cold this week.
After the cold front passage yesterday, it’s cold. It’s 38* and sunny. Look for a high of 47* today and sun.
Water temperature is up to 59*, but should drop down to the mid-50s during the week with the colder northerly flow.
Sunrise is at 7:20 a.m. and sunset will be at 5:40 p.m.

Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “High pressure will build across the area through midweek, then weaken late week in advance of a low pressure system impacting the region this weekend. High pressure will then return late weekend and persist into early next week.”
