Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Saturday July 31 at 8:30 a.m.

Surf at the Washout this morning is knee-high with a thigh set.

Winds are west/south-west – side-shore – at 10 knots. Surf is weak and choppy at the low tide.    

Look for south-westerly winds increasing this afternoon at 10 to 15 with a gust to 20 knots.  

We are coming off a low tide, high tide will be at 2:25 p.m. The next low tide will be at 8:41 p.m.

The Edisto buoy is reading 4.3 ft at 6 seconds in a building, short period south-west wind swell.   

Waves should be picking up some late day in a small, choppy south-west wind swell. South-west winds will be prevalent this weekend and into early next work week. We see small, choppy, south-west wind waves in the forecast. This looks to begin to build over-night tonight into Sunday. This small south-west wind swell carries into the work week, with waves averaging thigh high with a bigger set in drifty conditions as a cold front stalls near our marine area.

Your National Weather Service Marine Weather Forecast for our area calls for: “A cold front will stall over or in the vicinity of the area through late next week.”

We have sun and clouds mixed this morning. It’s 85*. Look for a very hot, humid day with a high of 88* and sunny skies today. There is an excessive heat warning in effect.

Water temperature is around 85*.

Sunrise is at 6:32 a.m. and sunset will be at 8:19 p.m.
