Sunday, December 19

Bumpy and crossed up. But certainly rideable.

Time of Report: 8:30 a.m.
Wave Forecast: Waist-to-stomach. Chest sets.
Traffic: Not too bad.
Parking: Some cars at key surf spots.
Dangers: None.

Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Sunday, December 19 at 8:30 a.m.    

Surf at The Washout this morning waist-to-stomach high with a chest high set. There is still plenty of swell in the water, but the form is kind of funky.

Winds are south-west at 10 knots, and surf zone is a bit bumpy and crossed up.    

Look for south-west winds at 10 to 15 knots ahead of a cold front. Winds go north at 15 to 20 late today. This should blow down the surf some late day.  

Tide just started going out. Low tide will be at 2:02 p.m., and high tide will be at 8:03 p.m.

The Edisto Buoy is reading 2.6 ft at 10 seconds in a long-period south-east swell, with a short-period south-west wind swell 4.6 ft at 5 seconds.  

A cold front approaches our marine area this afternoon and brings strong north winds late today and overnight. North-east winds and high-angled swell increase to start the Christmas workweek. Look for a low pressure forming along the south-east coast Tuesday into Wednesday with increasing swell and continued north-east winds. There should be some surf, but there will be north-east winds on it.  

Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our area currently calls for: “A cold front will cross through our area today, followed by brief high pressure tonight through Monday. A coastal storm will bring impacts to the region late Monday through Wednesday. High pressure then returns late in the week.”

It’s 65* with clouds moving into the area today.  Look for a high of 69* and some showers as a cold front moves through the area this afternoon.

Water Temperature is hovering around 60*.

Sunrise is at 7:15 a.m., and sunset will be at 5:16 p.m.
