Monday, May
Clean early, bump later.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Monday, May 18 at 8:30 a.m.
The City of Folly Beach is now open. Social distancing rules will be enforced. Please see the City of Folly Beach’s Web Site for more information.
We will be open from 9:15 a.m. until 6 p.m. Please follow social distancing protocols when shopping.
Waves at Folly this morning are thigh-to-waist high. There is a stomach set. Maybe a bit bigger. It looks fun once again, but smaller than it has been.
Winds are west at 5 to 8 knots, and surf-zone is clean.
Look for increasing south-westerly winds at 10 knots this afternoon, adding some bump to a fading swell.
We have a low tide at 11:04 a.m., and a high tide will be at 6:01 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is reading 4 ft. at 9 seconds in a south-east ground swell. Plenty of swell at the buoy this morning, and this should fade some this afternoon, but likely still something to ride.
Tropical storm Arthur heads for the Outer Banks today. Swell fades some today, as south-west winds add some bump to fading swell this afternoon. We see more, small south-east wind swell fill in mid-Tuesday as a deep upper-level low lingers off-shore. This should continue into mid-week. There will be south winds on it, but at least there should be something to ride this week.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “Tropical Storm Arthur will near the North Carolina Outer Banks today before moving out to sea. Deep low pressure will linger to the west for much of this week before a ridge of high pressure builds in for next weekend.
It’s 73 today with clouds this morning. Look for a high of 84 with sun/passing clouds and a chance for an afternoon thunderstorm.
Water temperature is around 73*.
Sunrise is at 6:18 a.m. and sunset will be at 8:14 p.m.
