Thursday, April 19 at 8:15 a.m.
Tons of new spring gear in now. We are STOKED and STOCKED! Come check it out.
Surf at the Washout is running thigh to waist high in drifty, choppy, side-shore south-west wind-swell. Rarely, there is a stomach high set.
Wind is out of the south-west at 10 to 15 knots. Look for winds to pick up from the south-west at 15 to 20 with gusts to 25 today ahead of a dry cold front.
High tide will be at 10:23 a.m. Low tide will be at 4:24 pm. The next high tide is at 10:45 p.m.
The Edisto buoy reading 6.2 ft. at 6 seconds in short period south/south-west wind swell.
Looks like some drifty, building south-west wind swell this afternoon with choppy conditions today as winds increase south-westerly this afternoon ahead of a dry cold front. After a cold front passage, winds go north-east and we’ll see high angled north-east wind swell average thigh to waist high for your Friday with drifty conditions. We have mixed easterly wind swell on Saturday before wave get smaller Sunday morning. Then, a storm system effects our area Sunday night, and this low will produce big choppy surf for Monday, cleaning up and continuing on Tuesday. This swell fades during the middle of next week.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “Atlantic high pressure to the south will give way to a dry cold front later today and tonight. Cooler high pressure will then prevail into the weekend. Unsettled weather is expected late Sunday or Monday through Tuesday as low pressure passes nearby, before the low pulls away with improving conditions possible Wednesday.”
It is 65* with lots of sun this morning. Look for a nice beach day with a high of 81* and high, hazy clouds as the winds increases this afternoon.
Water temperature is around 65*.
Sunset is at 7:51 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:46 a.m.
