Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Friday, Oct. 20 at 8:30 a.m.
Carolina Surf Film Festival is set to start tonight at the Brickhouse Kitchen here in Charleston. Go to carolinasurffilmfestival.com for tickets and more information.
Colder air temps today and waves at the washout are knee to thigh to waist high with stomach high sets. Occ. slight bigger. Waves are up in the rocks after this morning’s high tide.
Winds are NNE at 5 to 10. Surf is clean, and looks fun for the longboard or groveler.
We see easterly winds at 10 knots this afternoon adding some bump to the surf.
We have a high tide at 8:55 a.m., and a low tide will be at 3:01 p.m. The next high tide is at 9:02 p.m
Edisto buoy is reading 4 ft. at 8 seconds in medium period easterly swell.
We see medium period easterly trade wind swell rotate more south-easterly for your Saturday in the thigh to waist high range, then we see a more on-shore (south-east) swell direction with wind swell building southerly Sunday into Monday of next week with choppy conditions ahead of a cold front. There are still some waves in the forecast for your weekend and into early next week.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “Strong high pressure will continue over the area, then shift offshore this weekend. A cold front will likely move through Monday night into Tuesday before a stronger cold front moves through Tuesday night ushering in much cooler weather.”
We have a beautiful day at the beach. It is 61* and sunny this morning. Look for a high of 80* with sun through this afternoon.
Water temperature has dropped to around 74*with the cold snap. Might want to get a wetsuit soon.
Sunset is at 6:46 p.m. and sunrise will be at 7:23 a.m.
Thanks for checking in with Ocean Surf Shop.
