Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Friday, April 26 at 8:30 a.m.
We have lots of spring merchandise coming in every day, so come see what’s new when you are out at the beach.
Surf at The Washout is knee-to-thigh high with a waist high set. It should build in a choppy south wind swell this afternoon.
Winds are south/south-west at 15 to 18 knots, and surf is very choppy and bumpy. It is closing out a bit at the lower tide.
Look for increasing south-westerly winds at 15 to 20 knots with gusts to 25 knots this afternoon ahead of an approaching cold front, adding significant bump and chop to the surf zone for afternoon. Winds could go westerly late, cleaning up the surf before dark.
We are coming off a low tide at high tide at 8:09 a.m., and high tide will be at 2:10 pm. The next low tide will be at 8:11 pm.
The Edisto buoy is reading 2 ft. at 9 seconds in an south-east swell mixed with a south wind swell, 3.9 ft. at 6 seconds.
We have south wind swell in the water today averaging waist-to-stomach high, with increasing surf size and choppy, drifty conditions. Surf could clean up a bit late day after a cold front passage. Winds go north-west after a cold front passage tonight, and we’ll see small surf for the weekend and into next week. Surf today if you can, because surf looks fairly small for the next several days.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “A cold front will sweep through this afternoon. High pressure will then return for the weekend and prevail through much of next week.
It’s 71* with sun this morning. Look for a decent beach day with a high of 79* and some thunder storms as this front moves through.
Water temperature is around 71*.
Sun rise is at 6:39 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:55 p.m.
Thanks for checking in with Ocean Surf Shop.
