Thurs., Oct. 5
Very choppy and drifty. Poor form.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Thursday, Oct. 5 at 8:15 a.m.
Carolina Surf Film Festival is set for October 20-21st at the Brickhouse Kitchen here in Charleston.
We also have spring-suits in stock, so come by as the water cools off.
Waves at the washout are waist to stomach high with chest high sets. Occasionally, there is a bigger peak. It is breaking up in the rocks at the morning’s high tide with very poor form.
Winds are north-east at 15 to 18 knots knots, and surf is super drifty and choppy. Conditions are expected to stay the same throughout the day with north-east winds at 10 to 15 becoming easterly this afternoon.
We are just coming off a high tide, and low tide will be at 2:08 p.m. The next high tide will be at 8:23 p.m.
Edisto buoy is reading 7.2 ft. at 9 seconds in easterly wind swell / ground-swell combo.
Surf still has a lot of wind on it, but it is rideable if you are into a drift session. Winds should become more moderate from the east on Friday, then swell and winds rotate more south-east late tomorrow into Saturday. Hopefully the surf will get a little bit better form Friday and into the weekend in continued east/south-east wind-swell/ground-swell combo. Surf fades Sunday afternoon and to start the work week.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: High pressure will persist over the region into late week. Tropical Depression Sixteen is forecast to move north over the western Caribbean Sea and strengthen into a hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico this weekend before making landfall along the Gulf Coast early next week. A cold front will then approach the area during the middle of next week. Refer to the latest advisory on Tropical Depression Sixteen issued by the National Hurricane Center.”
It is 72* with sun and partly cloudy this morning. Expect a nice day with a high of 82* and partly cloudy skies.
Water temperature is around 77* but will continue to drop this week with north-east winds.
Sunset is at 6:58 p.m. and sunrise will be at 7:15 a.m.
