We also have spring-suits in stock, so come by as the water cools off. We also have many 3/2 full-suits from the spring that are marked down.
Waves at the washout are waist to stomach high with chest high sets. Occasionally, there is a bigger peak. It is breaking up in the rocks at the morning’s high tide.
Winds have died down some, it is still north/north-east at 10 to 12 knots. Surf is side-shore with some drift down the beach, but is bumpy, and semi-choppy. We see winds increase from the east at 10 to 15 knots this afternoon, making surf choppy.
We have a high tide at 9:07 a.m., and a low tide at 2:55 p.m. The next high tide is at 9:07 p.m.
Edisto buoy is reading 6 ft. at 9 seconds in east/south-east wind swell, ground swell combo.
Look for choppy surf to average waist to stomach high today with drift down the beach. Swell and winds rotate more south-east today into Saturday. Surf should get a little bit better form Tomorrow into Sunday, averaging waist to stomach high with chest high sets Saturday, shedding some size, but still rideable Sunday. Winds trend south/south-east for the weekend, keeping surf semi-choppy and bumpy, but fun. Trade wind swell continues to start the work week.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: Tropical Storm Nate is forecast to move north over the western Caribbean Sea and strengthen into a hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico this weekend before making landfall along the Gulf Coast early next week. A cold front will then approach the area during the middle of next week. Refer to the latest advisory on Tropical Storm Nate issued by the National Hurricane Center.
