Choppy

Time of Report: 8 a.m.
Wave Forecast: Building wind-swell Waist+ choppy with some drift
Traffic: Not too bad.
Parking: Some.
Dangers: Spring break!! and National cocktail day

Good morning this is Luke  the kook with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Friday, March 24 at 8:30 a.m.

Surf at Folly around thigh-waist with some plus sets. Looks decent.

Winds are moderate out of the SSW 10mph early. Some texture to the surface early, look for surf become more choppy further into the day as winds expected to pick up to 20mph from the SSW.

We had a high tide at 11:12 a.m., and a low tide at 4:53 p.m.

The Edisto Buoy is reading 4.3ft at 5 seconds from the south.

There is some on-shore flow, so there is a little wave out here today. We do expect winds to come strong from the south this afternoon at 15 to 20 later today. This will build wind chop surf from the south. We should see bigger south-to-south-west wind swell further fill in Saturday, building  with choppy, drifty, windy conditions and strong south-west winds. This trend continues Sunday as surf begins to lose size, and south winds begin to abate to start the next work week.

The NOAA Marine Weather forecast for our area calls for: “High pressure will extend across the region through the rest of the week. A cold front is expected to pass through on Saturday, followed by unsettled conditions early next week.”

It’s warm this morning. It’s 63* and sunny skides. Look for nice beach weather with a high of 71* and sun today.   

Water temperature fell back to 60*. Brrrrr.

Sunrise is at 7:19 a.m., and sunset will be at 7:33 p.m.

Thanks for checking in with Ocean Surf Shop.
