SATURDAY APRIL 2
choppy and drifty
Good morning, this is Chad with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Saturday, April 2 at 8:30 a.m.
Waves are choppy in the waist plus range. Wind is steady out of the northeast at 18 knots with a strong current ripping north to south
Waves at The Washout are waist-to-stomach high with a bigger set.
Look for continued north-east winds this morning becoming east throughout the day. We see a choppy surf zone most of the day.
We have a high tide at 9:33 a.m., a low tide at 3:29 p.m., and another high tide at 9:46 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is reading 2.6 feet at 7.7 seconds in a medium period south swell. With a south/south-west short period wind swell reading 1.6 feet at 4 seconds.
Today may improve a little if the wind backs off when it turns east. Keep an eye on the incoming tide for the evening. Surf looks to fall off some for Sunday with northwest winds beginning overnight. Could be clean in the morning with some fun little waves. We see another pre-frontal south wind swell on Tuesday.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our area currently calls for: “High pressure will generally prevail through Monday. A series of low pressure systems will impact the region through the middle of next week. Drier weather expected to return late next week.”
It’s currently 55* and sunny with strong winds. Look for a high of 66* and partly cloudy today.
Water Temperature is around 64*.
Sunrise is at 7:06 a.m., and sunset will be at 7:40 p.m.
