Sunday August 27th 2023
Clean. Choppy this afternoon.
Good morning, this is Luke with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Sunday August 27th at 8:30 a.m.
Surf at Folly showing thigh-waist high with some inconsistent chest high sets. Its closing out and dumping this morning, overall not lining up to great but Franklin swell is just arriving.
Winds are slack and the surf zone is clean. Look for winds to gradually pick up 15mph out of the south later today.
We have a low tide at 10:53 a.m., tide then fills in at 5:32 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is reading 3.3 ft at 10 seconds in building SE ground-swell.
Franklin swell is just arriving to our shores. Showing thigh-waist high with some chest high sets early this morning. Look for surf to gradually build as Franklin matures into a major hurricane later today. Franklin swell will peak Monday into Tuesday and should get pretty solid shoulder high to maybe 1ft overhead on appropriate tides during the peak. Winds will be light SE during the event and shouldn’t hinder it to badly. Meanwhile, off the Yucatan peninsula TD10 is brewing and forecasted to become a Hurricane as well. All models now in agreement Idalia will be born in the southern Gulf and cross over northern Florida and head right over our marine area on Weds. Look for rapidly increased onshore winds and surf as a result. This systems center stays very close to the coastline while in the Carolinas as is it slides further north winds will begin to rotate more favorable to offshore Thursday afternoon. Watch the flags during those hours because this swell wont last long but it will be a short but very sweet session in my opinion. That’s all for now anything changes will update.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast calls for: “A cold front will move into the region late this weekend, then stall nearby. Tropical low pressure could impact the Southeast early to mid next week. Water temperature is around 85*.
It’s already 83* and sunny this morning. Look for a high of 87* with sun mixed with clouds.
Sunrise is at 6:44 a.m., and sunset will be at 8:02 p.m.
