Friday, Sept. 25
Choppy, bumpy. Building south-east wind swell.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Friday, Sept. 25 at 8:30 a.m.
You can now park in right-of-way on the side streets at Folly Monday through Thursday. Keep in mind parking restrictions still apply Friday through Sunday. Check the City of Folly Beach’s Web site for more information.
We still have a mandatory mask ordinance in effect for Folly Beach.
Surf at The Washout is knee-to-thigh high with a waist-high set this morning and closing out some at the lower tide. It show a little potential as the tide rises late morning and south-east wind swell builds some.
Winds are south-south/east at 10 to 15 knots, and surf is choppy/bumpy.
Look for south-east winds at around 10 knots today, with a semi-choppy, bumpy surf-zone.
Low tide is at 9:11 a.m., and high tide will be at 3:57 p.m. The next low tide is at 10:04 p.m.
Edisto Buoy is down, but virtual buoy is showing 3.5 ft at 4 seconds in a building, short-period south/south-east wind swell.
We could see some south-east wind swell pick up a bit today, building into Saturday. Look for wind-swell into the waist/stomach high range with south winds keeping surf semi-choppy for your Saturday. Surf looks a bit smaller Sunday and into the start of the work week in lazy south trade-wind swell. The tropics are finally getting quiet, for a time. Surf should pick up again Tuesday in a choppy south-west wind swell ahead of an approaching cold front.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “Low pressure will track well north of the area today. Weak high pressure will prevail this weekend. A cold front will shift through the region late Tuesday into Wednesday next week, followed by high pressure through late next week.”
It’s 78* and cloudy this morning, with a few light showers in the area. Look for a high of 81* with a 50% chance of a shower today.
Water temperature has dropped with the cooler weather, is 75*.
Sunrise is at 7:10 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:10 p.m.
