The Edisto Buoy is reading 4.3 at 6 seconds from the NNE in short period wind-swell.

Surfs trying to pick back up its showing knee-thigh high drifty NE conditions. Overall doesn’t look to hot but there is a little nugget out there. This trend should continue until mid-week when are winds are forecasted to rotate more favorably onshore to get this swell moving our way. Mid-week nothing great but we should have some surf. Our work week ends with a cold front due to impact our region bringing a fresh SSW wind-swell on Friday into Saturday.

The NOAA Marine Weather forecast for our area calls for: “Broad high pressure will linger across the region through most of next week. A cold front could affect the area next weekend.”

The Edisto Buoy is reading 4.6 at 5 seconds from the west moving away from shore. There is still a small swell from the south showing.

Hope you got on it yesterday, surf faded out a lot over night showing knee high at best. Our front that passed through looks to stall some off our coast and increase our winds from the north-east  This will build a drifty, high angled north-east wind swell through Wednesday. Thursday, winds come more on-shore, and conditions should get a little better as north-east swell begins to fade.

Good morning this is Bates your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Saturday, March 18 at 8:30 a.m.

New Gary Wilson mid-lengths and a batch of Pyzel boards just arrived. Come get ready for spring surfing.

Surf at Folly is waist-to-chest high with head high sets. Maybe slightly bigger in some sets.

The wind is still from the south-west, but is only blowing about 10 to 12 knots. The surf is semi-clean andd has some drift up the beach. We are looking at a cleanup as a cold front moves offshore, but it’s not looking too bad this morning. Just rainy.  

We have a low tide at 11:58 a.m., and a high tide at 6 p.m.

The Edisto Buoy is reading 4.6 feet at 8 seconds in a medium period south swell, with a south/south-west wind swell reading 5 feet at 5 seconds.     

We look for a cold front to move through this afternoon, and this should clean up the big south swell that we are currently seeing at Folly.  After this cold front passage, winds come strong from the north on Sunday, then north-east to start the work week. This will build a drifty, high angled north-east wind swell through Wednesday. Thursday, winds come more on-shore, and conditions should get a little better as north-east swell begins to fade.   

The NOAA Marine Weather forecast for our area calls for: “A cold front will move through the region this morning. The front could become stationary just offshore this weekend. An area of broad high pressure will linger across the region through most of next week.”

It’s 63 with rain today. Look for rain on and off today with clouds. The temperature is likely to drop this afternoon to the mid-50s as the cold front passes our marine area.  

Water temperature fell back to 62*. Brrrrr.

Sunrise is at 7:28 a.m., and sunset will be at 7:28 p.m.

Happy St. Patricks Day

Surf at Folly is knee high and building in fresh SSW wind-swell today.   

The wind is steady at 15mph from the SSW this morning and will increase to 20+ as today progresses, choppy/drifty surf as a result.

We have a low tide at 11:14 a.m., and a high tide at 5:07 p.m.

The Edisto Buoy is reading 3.9 feet at 5 seconds in short period SSW wind-swell.    

We have building SSW wind-swell in the water this Friday morning showing Knee high early. Look for surf to consistently build through today and tonight until the front pushes through early Saturday morning. Saturday mid-morning look for chest high surf and cleaner conditions, as this swell will begin its fading trend from there. There could be some small, cleaner leftovers for Sunday. We do expect the passing frontal boundary to stall off-shore on Monday, and there could be a significant coastal storm developing Monday with strong north-east winds early week. As the storm develops during the middle of next week, we could see swell and wind increase significantly for mid-week.  

The NOAA Marine Weather forecast for our area calls for: “A cold front will move through the region tonight into Saturday morning. The front could become stationary just offshore this weekend, possibly followed by a coastal storm next week.”

It’s 63 and sunny today. Look for a high of 72* and sun. Pretty nice beach day on tap although windy.

Water temperature fell back to 61*. Brrrrr.

Sunrise is at 7:28 a.m., and sunset will be at 7:28 p.m.
