Semi-choppy
Good morning, this is Chad with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Saturday, Oct. 7 at 8:30 a.m.
Carolina Surf Film Festival is set for October 20-21st at the Brickhouse Kitchen here in Charleston. Come on out and have some FUN!
We also have spring-suits in stock, so come by as the water cools off. We also have many 3/2 full-suits from the spring that are marked down.
Waves at the washout are stomach to chest high with an occasional bigger peak. It is breaking up in the rocks at the morning’s high tide.
Winds have died down some, it is SE at 10 to 15 knots. Surf is side-shore with some drift down the beach, bumpy, and semi-choppy. We see winds increase from the east at 10 to 20 knots this afternoon, making surf choppy.
We have a high tide at 9:34 a.m., and a low tide at 3:47 p.m. The next high tide is at 9:57 p.m.
Edisto buoy is reading 5.6 ft. at 7 seconds in east/south-east wind swell, ground swell combo.
Look for semi-choppy surf to average stomach to chest high today with a slight drift down the beach. Swell and winds rotate more south-east today. Surf should get a little bit better into Sunday, averaging waist to stomach high with chest high sets today, shedding some size, but still rideable Sunday. Winds trend south/south-east for the weekend, keeping surf semi-choppy and bumpy, but fun. Trade wind swell continues to start the work week averaging thigh to waist (plus).
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: Tropical Storm Nate is forecast to move north over the western Caribbean Sea and strengthen into a hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico this weekend before making landfall along the Gulf Coast early next week. A cold front will then approach the area during the middle of next week. Refer to the latest advisory on Tropical Storm Nate issued by the National Hurricane Center.
It is 79* and cloudy this morning. Expect a high of 84* and mostly cloudy skies.*. There is a 20% chance for a shower.
Water temperature is around 76*.
Sunset is at 6:56 p.m. and sunrise will be at 7:17 a.m.
