Good Morning. This is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Monday, Aug. 28 at 8:15 a.m.
Waves at The Washout are chest to head high with a larger set possible as the tide comes in. It is closing out in about three feet of water at the low tide this morning.
Surf is side-shore and very drifty down the beach, from north to south. It’s working man’s surf for sure.
Winds are currently north-east at 20 to 25 knots, and very choppy. We expect strong north-east winds today as a tropical low pressure moves off-shore of our beaches.
High tide is at 1:48 p.m., and low tide will be at 7:53 p.m.
Edisto Buoy is reading 6.9 ft. at 7 seconds in short-period east/south-east wind swell.
We see chest to head high surf with a bigger set in windy, drifty conditions today. Look for continued chest to head high surf today. Low pressure moves to our south along a frontal boundary today and high pressure continue to our north. This low will pass off-shore of our beaches this afternoon, and surf drops rapidly on Tuesday.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “An area of low pressure is expected to track northeast near the coast through tonight. High pressure will then prevail mid-week, before a front approaches the region late week.”
It is 73* with clouds this morning. Look for a high of 77* with rain and thunderstorms today.
Water temperature is 84*.
Sunset is at 7:48 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:52 a.m.
