Friday, August 24
Drifty, choppy.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Friday, August 24 at 8:30 a.m.
Make sure to check out the Warrior Surf Foundation’s raffle at Bohemian Bull tomorrow night. There will be eight surfboards raffled off, and three of them are signed by Jimmy Buffett. Check it out at warriorsurf.org.
Keep in mind bulldozers and beach nourishment area taking place at the Washout. They’ve added about 6 feet of sand and the area is currently blocked off.
Surf at the Washout is knee to thigh high with a slightly bigger set in a choppy drifty east/north-east wind swell.
Current is running down the beach, north-to-south.
Winds are north-east at 15 knots. Surf zone is choppy and drifty.
Look for increasing easterly winds this afternoon at 15 to 20 knots. Surf should be choppy and drifty all day as easterly wind swell increases into the waist to stomach high range with poor form.
We are coming off a high tide this morning. Low tide will be at 1:03 p.m., and high tide will be at 7:37 p.m.
The Edisto buoy is reading 5.9 ft at 6 seconds in a short period east/north east wind swell with a pretty high angle on it.
We should see an increase in high angled easterly wind swell with choppy conditions today averaging thigh to waist high with a bigger set. Surf should get a push as the tide comes in late day under choppy drifty conditions. This swell holds for the high tide first thing Saturday morning, before fading off Saturday afternoon. Surf looks small for Sunday and in to the coming work week.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “High pressure north of the area will shift into the Atlantic early next week.”
It’s 74* and mostly sunny this morning with low humidity. It’s very nice. Look for a high of 85* with clear skies and less humidity today.
Water temperature is 84*.
Sunset is at 7:53 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:47 a.m.
