Sunday August 13th 2023

Clean. Choppy this afternoon.

Time of Report: 8 a.m.
Wave Forecast: Knee-to-thigh.
Traffic: Not too bad.
Parking: Some.
Dangers: None

Good morning, this is Luke with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Sunday, August 13 at 8:30 a.m.

It’s on. The Governor’s Cup of Surfing Finals day is today.

Surf at Folly right now around knee-thigh on this mornings higher tide overall looking fun for a log or groveler.  

Winds are west at 5 to 10 kts and then trend south later in the day around 10-15 knots. Look for conditions to become more choppy as the day moves on.

We just came off a high tide at 6:30 a.m. look for the tide to drain out at 12:41 p.m. with another high tide to finish our day at 7:00 p.m.

The Edisto Buoy is reading 2.6 ft at 7 seconds in medium period south-east swell.

Surf is still sticking around knee-thigh high again it is enough to get wet on the right equipment. This small SE swell slowly fades into Tuesday morning.  Our next hope for small choppy swell comes mid-week as south-west wind swell kicks up ahead of an approaching cold front. Right now we are stuck with high pressure and very hot weather. Tropics are dormant for now.

Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast calls for: “High pressure will build into the area this weekend. A cold front could impact the area during the middle of next week.”

Water temperature is around 85*.

It’s 80* with sun this morning. Expect sun mixed with clouds and 89* with sun and a high heat index for today.

Sunrise is at 6:40 a.m., and sunset will be at 8:08 p.m.

Thanks for checking in with Ocean Surf Shop.
