Mon., Aug. 21
Bumpy, weak.
Good Morning. This is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop Eclipse-ageddon surf report and forecast for Monday, August 21 at 8 a.m.
Eclipse totality should occur around 2:46 p.m. today. Traffic totality should start any minute, now.
Waves at The Washout are averaging thigh to waist high. There is a slightly bigger set. It’s a bit soft at the morning’s high tide, but it looks fun for the longboard or fish this morning.
Surf is side-shore but clean.
Winds are currently north/north-east at 10 knots and are expected to rotate east, then south-east at 10 to 15 knots.
Surf should be choppy as the tide comes in late afternoon.
High tide will be at 8:05 a.m., and low tide will be at 2:05 p.m. The next high tide is at 8:30 p.m.
Edisto Buoy is reading 2.6 ft. at 8 seconds in medium period south-easterly swell.
We have a disorganized tropical disturbance north/north-east of the Bahamas that could push some swell into our beaches late Tuesday into Wednesday this week. Low pressure could form offshore Friday and we see strong north-east winds late this week, pushing in easterly wind swell for Thursday and Friday and into the weekend.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “A weak stationary front will gradually dissipate across the region today. High pressure will extend across the area Tuesday and Wednesday with a Piedmont trough developing inland. A stronger cold front is expected to pass over the region on Thursday. A wave of low pressure could form on the front well offshore Friday, with high pressure to return for Saturday.”
Your eclipse forecast…It is 82* with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Expect partly to mostly cloudy skies today and a high of 86* with a 40% chance of rain.
Water temperature is 87*.
Sunset is at 8 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:45 a.m.
