Thursday, March 19
Clean early. Chop for later.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Thursday, March 19 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 with a rare waist high set in a mixed direction easterly swell. There could be a bit bigger set on the tide push early afternoon.
Winds are very light from the south-west, and surf zone is clean early this morning.
We see winds increasing from the south this afternoon at 10 to 15 knots, and this should build south wind-swell for Friday and Saturday.
We have a low tide at 11:26 a.m., and a high tide at 5:30 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is down and not reading. But the virtual buoy is reading 2.3 ft. at 8 seconds in a mixed direction easterly swell, with a small underlying south wind swell.
We see small trade-wind swell today best for the long-board, with wins picking up from the south this afternoon. Swell slowly builds from the south increasing and 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: “Atlantic high pressure will expand across the region today, and persist through Friday night. A cold front will then move through the area Saturday night followed by several disturbances through the middle of next week.”
It’s 67* with partly cloudy skies this morning. Look for partly cloudy skies with and a high of 77* today.
Water temperature is around 63*.
Sunrise is at 7:26 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:28 p.m.
