Friday, March 12

Very clean early. It'll get bumpy and semi-choppy this afternoon.

Time of Report: 8:15 a.m.
Wave Forecast: Waist-to-stomach. Chest sets.
Traffic: Some.
Parking: Some.
Dangers: Work, for sure.

 Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Friday, March 12 at 8:15 a.m.   

New mid-length and longboard shapes have arrived from Gary Wilson. We also got a fresh batch of EPS/Epoxy boards from Roberts. Shop is starting to fill up with boards again, so come check out the new shapes.

Surf at The Washout this morning is waist-to-stomach high with a chest high set. It looks super fun this morning, and don’t worry, all your friends are out here.

Winds are light and variable this morning, and surf zone is very clean.    

Look for winds to pick up from the south at 10 knots late morning, going south 10 to 15 knots this afternoon. Surf should be bumpy and semi-choppy later today, but swell should hold size.

We are coming off a high tide at 7:14 a.m. We have a low tide at 1:13 p.m., and another high tide at 7:22 p.m.

Virtual buoy readings are showing 3 ft. at 10 seconds in a long period east/south-east ground swell.  

Lazy south-east trade wind swell should be the call through Saturday into Sunday averaging waist-to-stomach high with moderate south winds and warm weather. Should be a decent weekend of surf. A backdoor cold front effects our marine area on Monday, and with it comes some north-east winds and choppy easterly wind-swell. This rotates more on-shore during the middle of next week, when we should have some more surf Tuesday and Wednesday with windier conditions.

Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast calls for: “High pressure will prevail off the Southeast coast through the end of the week. Next week a backdoor cold front followed by a storm system could bring some impacts to the region.”

It is currently 55* with sun. Look for a great beach day with a high of 68* and lots of sunshine.      

Water temperature is around 58*.  You’ll be OK in a 3/2 and maybe booties. I didn’t wear mine yesterday, and was fine.

The days are getting longer. Sunrise is at 6:33 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:25 p.m.

Thanks for checking in with Ocean Surf Shop.
