Sunday, Sept. 20
Side-shore. Clean. Very drifty.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Sunday, Sept. 20 at 8:30 a.m.
You can now park in right-of-ways on the side streets at Folly Monday through Thursday. Keep in mind parking restrictions still apply Friday through Sunday. Check the City of Folly Beach’s Web site for more information.
We still have a mandatory mask ordinance in effect for Folly Beach.
Surf is waist-to-chest high with a head set in a building easterly ground swell. It is semi-clean and very drifty from north-to-south, down the beach. It is a little soft at the morning’s high tide, but if you’ve got the arms, go paddle.
Winds are north/north-east at 20 knots. It is blowing hard side-shore, early.
Look for winds to clock more north-east and gust to 30 knots this afternoon. We see a drifty surf-zone all day.
We have a high tide at 10:53 a.m., and a low tide will be at 5:03 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is down. Virtual buoy data showing 8 ft at 8 seconds in an east/north-east swell with a long-period south-east swell 3 ft at 14 seconds.
We have building ground swell today with north-east winds making for very dirfty conditions. We should see swell begin to fill in from Hurricane Teddy through Tuesday, but strong north/side-shore winds are forecast through the period. There will, however, be bigger surf today and tomorrow. So, keep an eye on Teddy’s ground swell and look for increasing north-east winds. Big swell and north-east winds will continue into the first half of the work week. Look for surf falling off some mid-to-late week.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “Strong high pressure will continue to build into the area today and then linger through midweek. By late week, remnants of tropical cyclone Beta could bring unsettled weather to the area.”
It’s nice and cool this morning. It’s 60* and cloudy. Look for a high of 74* today and some sun behind clouds this afternoon.
Water temperature is 84*.
Sunrise is at 7:06 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:17 p.m.
