Sat. Nov. 18
Bumpy, going choppy later.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Saturday, November 18, at 8:30 a.m.
We’ll be having our “Schwack” Friday sale starting the day after Thanksgiving, with 25% off Sunglasses, apparel and more, as well as $125 off of any NEW board in the shop, excluding soft-boards (we’ll mark those down as well). Make sure to check it out and save some money on your Christmas gifts.
Waves at the Washout are running knee to thigh high with a slightly bigger set. It is bumpy and soft at the morning’s high tide. Bring the longboard or fish.
Winds are east/north-east at 5 knots, expected to come south at 10 knots, increasing to 10 to 20 knots late day.
Surf should get choppier as the day wears on.
Tide just started going out, and low tide will be at 1:38 p.m. The next high tide will be at 7:35 p.m.
Edisto buoy is reading 2.6 ft. at 8 seconds in medium period easterly swell.
We see south/south-west wind swell build overnight as a cold front passes our marine area then winds switch strong west at 15 to 20 for Sunday morning, going north/north-west behind the front leaving us with leftover wind swell averaging wasit to stomach high before surf begins to drop out some Sunday afternoon. To start the holiday work week, we see small easterly wind swell average knee to thigh high. We should see a nice south-east trade wind swell fill in for the middle of the holiday work week Wednesday into Thursday. Swell forecasts show a sub-tropical low pressure system ejecting out of the Gulf of Mexico off of the central Florida coast bringing more waves next weekend, but we’ll keep you posted as that forecast changes.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “High pressure will prevail today, then a cold front will pass through late tonight into Sunday morning. High pressure will then return through much of next week, though a Gulf low pressure system could impact the area mid to late week.”
It’s 58* and sunny at the beach this morning. Look for beautiful beach weather with a high of 72* and sunny skies.
Water temperature has dropped to 61*.
Sunset is at 5:16 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:53 a.m.
