Wednesday, March 18
Side-shore, semi-clean.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Wednesday, March 18 at 8:30 a.m.
The City of Folly Beach has issued a state of emergency regarding the Covid-19 virus, and is encouraging social distancing at this time. Please see the City of Folly Beach’s Web site for more information.
We will be closed at 5 p.m.
Waves at Folly this morning are in the knee-thigh high range in a mixed direction easterly swell. There could be a bit bigger set on the tide push early afternoon.
Winds are from the north/north-east at 10 knots, and surf is textured and clean. It’s closing out a bit at the morning’s low tide.
We see winds around 10 knots today rotating east later this afternoon.
We have a low tide at 10:43 a.m., and a high tide at 4:33 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is down and not reading. But the virtual buoy is reading 1.6 ft. at 8 seconds in a mixed direction easterly swell.
Surf is about knee-to-thigh high this morning in a mix-direction easterly swell. We see mixed direction easterly swell pick up a bit on the incoming tide mid-afternoon. There were some fun long-board waves yesterday, so we might get a push with the tide again today. Swell slowly builds from the south Thursday afternoon, increasing and come more southerly for Friday and Saturday ahead of a cold front, as south-west winds pick up at 15 knots, adding chop to waist/stomach high south swell. Sunday, we see fresh north-east wind swell fill on once again with strong north-east winds to start the next work week.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “A warm front will move north through the area today and tonight as high pressure shifts offshore. A cold front will move through the area this weekend followed by high pressure, although some upper disturbances could keep it unsettled.”
It’s 62* with partly cloudy skies this morning. Look for partly cloudy skies with and a high of 68* today.
Water temperature is around 63*.
Sunrise is at 7:26 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:28 p.m.
