Thursday, January 19
Semi-choppy going choppy.
Good morning this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Thursday, January 19 at 8:30 a.m.
Surf at Folly Beach this morning is flat.
Winds are south-west at 5 to 8 knots, and surf zone is semi-choppy and weak. It should start to build in a fresh, choppy south-west wind swell later today.
We see south-westerly winds this morning at 10 knots, going 15 to 20 knots from the south-west this afternoon as south-west wind swell begins to build ahead of an approaching cold front.
Low tide this morning will be at 11:39 a.m. Look for todays high tide to follow at 5:27 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is reading 3 feet at 4 seconds in a short-period south-west wind swell.
South/south-west wind swell that should build later today with drifty, choppy conditions in the forecast this afternoon. This swell should clean up Friday morning before falling off Friday afternoon. Might be a fun but short-lived session tomorrow morning. Surf looks smaller for Saturday, but pre-frontal south wind-swell should begin to kick up again Sunday, and we should see the work week start with another south wind swell clean up early Monday. Surf will drop off Tuesday and into the middle of next week with high pressure setting up for mid-week.
Our NOAA Marine Weather Forecast calls for: “A cold front will move through tonight, followed by high pressure into Saturday. Low pressure system will produce significant rainfall across the area from Saturday night until another cold front crosses the area Sunday night. The next low pressure will impact the area Tuesday into Wednesday, followed by cool high pressure through late week.”=
It’s 58* and sunny this morning. Look for a high of 65* and clouds moving in later today.
Water temperature, it’s 55*.
Sunrise is at 7:22 a.m., and sunset will be at 5:38 p.m.
