Monday, Aug. 16
Choppy. Poor form.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Monday, August 16 at 7 a.m.
Surf at the Washout this morning is thigh-to-waist high at the morning’s lower tide. It is shutting down some at low tide, and does not have great form this morning.
We have east winds at 10 to 12 knots, and surf zone is choppy and side-shore.
Look for winds to switch south-east this afternoon with choppy surf building some on the incoming tide late morning.
We have a low tide at 8:30 a.m., and a high tide at 3:12 p.m. The next low tide is at 9:30 p.m.
The Edisto buoy is reading 3 ft. at 8 seconds is a small, medium-period east/south-east ground swell.
We see small, thigh-to-waist high ground swell today with semi-choppy, bumpy conditions as Tropical Storm Fred moves on-shore Gulf Coast near the border of and Alabama. There is another tropical storm – named Grace – following in Fred’s tracks. We see on-shore flow enhance our swell more significantly during the work week as surf picks up with onshore south winds trending up for Tuesday with choppy, bigger surf expected. Surf cleans up a bit and begins to drop for Wednesday.
Your National Weather Service Marine Weather Forecast for our area calls for: “Deep tropical moisture will persist into mid week between Tropical Cyclone Fred and its remnants to the west and Atlantic high pressure. Weak troughing should then persist later this week through early next week.”
It is partly to mostly cloudy this morning. It is currently 80*. We see a high of 84* today and clouds mixed with sun this afternoon with a 50% chance for a rain shower/thunderstorm.
Water temperature is around 85*.
Sunrise is at 6:44 a.m. and sunset will be at 8:02 p.m.
