Good morning, this is Chad with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Saturday, Dec. 16 at 8:30 a.m.       

Lots of Christmas gift ideas are here! Gift cards, Stance socks, Corkcicles, shop tees & hats, and lots more. Only 12 days to go!

Waves at the Washout are ankle to knee high.

Surf is clean.

Winds are N/NE at 5 to 10 knots.

We see light SE winds this afternoon, and a clean surf zone all day.  

Low tide will be at 12:31  a.m., followed by high tide at 6:38 p.m.

Edisto buoy is reading 3 ft. at 5 sec. in short-period south/south west wind swell.  

We have south/south-west wind swell averaging knee high this morning with light N/NE winds. Surf should average knee high today in south/south west wind swell, with small clean conditions all day. Unfortunately, It’s pretty much flat from Cape Hatteras to Central Florida right now.

Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “A dry cold front will move through today, followed by high pressure this weekend. Another front will bring unsettled weather across the region Monday into Tuesday, then shift offshore during the middle of next week.

It’s 38* with sunshine this morning. Look for a nice beach day with a high of 55* and bright sun.

Water temperature keeps going down with these cold temperatures, and is now 53*.

Sunset is at 5:12 p.m. and sunrise will be at 7:10 a.m.

Thanks for checking in with Ocean Surf Shop.
