Bumpy, choppy ground-swell.

Time of Report: 7:30 a.m.

Parking: Cars at key surf spots for sure.

Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Friday, May 3 at 7:30 a.m.
Solid Surfboards will be in town on Saturday. The guys will be having a demo at The Washout at 4 p.m. tomorrow. Come by and check out Solid surfboards and ride some of the epoxy boards the guys have created.
Surf at The Washout is waist-to-stomach high with a chest high set.
Winds are easterly at 5 to 8 knots, and surf is bumpy and choppy with poor form. IT’s a bit soft at the high tide this morning, but it still looks fun.
Look for south-east winds at 10 knots this afternoon making surf semi-choppy/bumpy for most of the day.
We have a high tide at 7:38 a.m., and a low tide will be at 1:32 pm. The next high tide is at 7:53 pm.
The Edisto buoy is reading 5.6 ft. at 8 seconds in a south/south-easterly swell.
There is plenty of swell at the buoy, so look for surf all day, with bumpy conditions and moderate south-east winds. We should have waves for the next several days. Swell continues into the weekend as high pressure sets up to our north-west and pushes in spring-time trade-wind swell. Swell should be semi-choppy overall, with moderate south-east winds going south-west by Sunday. Trade-wind swell falls off a bit, but should still be ridable, early into the next work week. So, there is some surf in the forecast. Better get in the water before the doldrums of summer set in.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “High pressure will weaken today. A weak low-pressure system and a cold front should then bring unsettled weather Friday through the weekend. Drier high pressure will then prevail into the middle of next week.”
It’s 74* with sun this morning. Look for a nice beach day with a high of 76* and thunderstorms and showers on-and-off today.
Water temperature is around 74*.
Sunrise is at 6:30 a.m. and sunset will be at 8:02 p.m.
