MONDAY, MAY 9
semi-clean, drifty
Good morning, this is Chad with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Monday, May 9 at 8:30 a.m.
Waves at The Washout this morning are ankle-knee with a thigh high set. It’s chilly and windy so if you need to get in the water definitely bring the neoprene for the morning.
Winds are north at 15 to 20 knots, and surf is side-shore with some chop in the surf zone. There is a current down the beach, which should continue to increase today.
Look for winds to continue north today at 15 to 20 knots. We see drifty, small north wind swell today.
It is low tide at time of report. High tide is at 3:06 p.m., and low tide will be at 8:58 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is reading 3.0 feet at 7.7 seconds in a short period north wind swell. This is passing straight by our beaches.
We see strong northerly flow to start the work week. This will send in high angled north-east wind swell, and most swell will pass our beaches, but there might be a drifty longboard wave out there starting Monday. We see changes mid-week when low pressure is predicted to form to our north-east, off the mid-Atlantic states, with blocking high pressure to the north. This could push up a high angled north-east swell Wednesday into Thursday. Swell looks like it will have a lot of north in it mid-week. We could potentially see fun surf Friday into Saturday of this week as the swell rotates more on-shore as the low sits in our swell window. Something to keep an eye on for sure. We’ll keep you updated.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our area currently calls for: “Dry high pressure will build over the area through the middle of this week, then Atlantic low pressure will move through Friday and Friday night. A weak surface trough could affect the area early next week.”
It’s 56* with clouds this morning. Look for a high of 73* with sunshine starting around noon today.
Water Temperature is around 75*. It might drop a few degrees this week with the northerly flow.
Sunrise is at 6:25 a.m., and sunset will be at 8:07 p.m.
