Wave Forecast: Knee-to-thigh.
Traffic: Moderate
Parking: Some.
Dangers: None.

Good morning this is Luke with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Friday, April 7 at 8:30 a.m.

A new batch of SofTech softboards just hit the floor, so come check them out.

Surfs looking around knee-high with a few thigh high sets at The Washout. It’s kind of weak and breaking close in at the higher tide, but could be fun for the longboard once again this morning.

Winds are light from the east at 5 knots, and the surf zone is semi-clean.

Winds will be from the south and increasing to 5-10 knots in the afternoon

We have a high tide at 9:23 a.m., low tide will be at 3:31 p.m.

The Edisto Buoy is reading 3 feet at 8 seconds in medium period south-east swell.

There is a little clean wave for the high-volume board this morning if you can find the right spot. And it’s a nice day at the beach. This small, lazy south swell should continue today. A cold front moves through the area starting Saturday morning, and we will see a big north-east blow and bigger high angled north-east wind swell from Saturday through Tuesday with very windy, drifty, semi-choppy and much cooler conditions. There will likely be more size to the surf Sunday through Tuesday, but local conditions won’t be ideal. Head to south Florida. It’ll likely be much bigger, but the wind will likely be blowing as a low departs from the Gulf of Mexico, across the Florida Peninsula and into the Atlantic Sunday and into next week.

A cold front will drop into the area today, then stall just off
the coast as low pressure moves past. High pressure will then
gradually build in from the north Sunday through the middle of
next week. Gulf low pressure could affect the area Wednesday
night through Friday.

It’s 72* and warm. It’s partly cloudy. Expect clouds mixed with sun and a high of 77*. Beach weather is perfect.

Water temperature is back up to 70 after all this warm weather. Expect it to go back down after a big north-east blow next week.

Sunrise is at 7:01 a.m., and sunset will be at 7:43 p.m.

Thanks for checking in with Ocean Surf Shop.
