Parking: it's Sunday
Dangers: none

Good morning, this is Chad with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Sunday, May 1 at 8:30 a.m.

Waves at The Washout this morning are knee-to-thigh high with maybe a waist high set every now and then  

Winds are south/south-west at 6 knots, and surf zone is semi-choppy. It is soft at the higher tide, but bring the high-volume board and catch a few. 

Look for south winds to increase late morning at 10 to 15 knots. It will gust to 20 knots late afternoon.  

We have a high tide as of report time at 9:03 a.m., and low tide will be at 2:55 p.m. The next high tide is at 9:17 p.m.

The Edisto Buoy is reading 2.3 feet at 5.9 seconds in a short period south-east swell.

We will likely see a continued small south wind swell/ground swell for today averaging knee-to-thigh high (plus/minus) with beautiful beach weather on tap. There should be lazy, small trade-wind swell for next week as high pressure sets up just to our north. Nothing too big, but perhaps some longboard surf and nice weather.  A cold-front approaches late in the work week and surf should increase in choppy south-west wind swell late Thursday into Friday.

Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our area currently calls for: “High pressure will generally prevail into the middle of next week. A cold front should approach the region late next week.”

It’s 72* with sun this morning. Look for the perfect beach day with a high of 77* and sun.  

Water Temperature is around 72*.  

Sunrise is at 6:32 a.m., and sunset will be at 8:01 p.m.
