Monday, Oct. 8
Choppy, bumpy.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Monday, October 8 at 8:30 a.m.
The Carolina Surf Film Festival takes place Friday and Saturday nights at Tradesman Brewing Company. It is always a great event, with lots of vendors and a slate of awesome raffles and great surf films on the big screen. Check out carolinasurffilmfestival.com for tickets and details.
Waves at The Pier this morning are waist to stomach high with rib high sets. Occasionally a bit bigger.
Winds are east/south-east this morning at 10 to 15 knots. Surf zone is choppy and bumpy.
Winds are expected east today at 15 to 20 knots. Look for choppy, building wind-swell surf today.
We just came off a high tide, low tide will be at 1:51 p.m. The next high tide will be at 8:04 p.m.
The Edisto buoy is reading 2.3 ft. at 10 seconds in long-period east/south-east ground swell. With short-period east/south-east wind swell 3.6 ft. at 6 seconds.
Tropical Storm Leslie continues moving east in the Atlantic today, taking with it the majority of the ground swell we saw this weekend. We see a strong, punchy east/south-east trade-wind swell fill in this week thanks to on-shore winds compliments of high pressure to our east and what is now Tropical Storm Michael moving into the Gulf during the work week. Look for a strong Cat 1 hurricane near the Florida Panhandle mid-week, enhancing on-shore wind and rain for our marine area as the storm crosses land and takes a swipe at us during the second half of the work week. So, we have some big, choppy, short period wind waves on tap this week.
Your NOAA MarinWeather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “High pressure will weaken into Monday. Tropical Storm Michael will move north across the Gulf of Mexico early this week, possibly making landfall as hurricane along the Florida Panhandle. Michael will weaken as it moves across the Southeast U.S. Wednesday into Thursday. Refer to the latest advisory on Tropical Storm Michael issued by the National Hurricane Center.”
It’s 77* with sun this morning. Expect a hot day with a high of 84* with a 50/50 chance of rain and T-storms.
Water temperature is 82*.
Sunset is at 6:58 p.m. and sunrise will be at 7:16 a.m.
