Semi-choppy
Good morning, this is Brad with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Thursday, May 28 at 8:30 a.m.
The City of Folly Beach is now open. Social distancing rules will be enforced. Please see the City of Folly Beach’s Web Site for more information.
We will be open from 9:15 a.m. until 6 p.m. Please follow social distancing protocols when shopping.
Waves at Folly this morning are waist-stomach high with a few larger peaks in a medium period south, south-easterly swell. Overall, waves look pretty weak and textured out there.
Winds are south, south-east at 8-10 knots, and surf zone is semi-choppy, likely to maintain this level of texture as the day progresses through incoming tide this afternoon.
Winds are predicted to remain south throughout the day , leveling off to 5-7mph this afternoon with occasional strong gusts in the 15-20mph range.
High tide is at 12:19 a.m., and low tide will be at 6:46 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is reading 4.9 ft at 7.1 seconds in a combination of medium period south-east swell and short period south-east wind swell.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “The area will remain between a trough inland and high pressure offshore late this week. Unsettled weather will continue until a cold front moves through the region early next week, followed by high pressure with drier and cooler conditions into Wednesday.”
It’s 77 degrees with scattered clouds this morning. Look for a high of 82* with potential for showers later tonight.
Water temperature is around 78*. Back to boardies and bikinis.
Sunrise is at 6:12 a.m. and sunset will be at 8:25 p.m.
Thanks for checking in with Ocean Surf Shop.
I hope everyone was able to get out yesterday to enjoy the gift of Bertha swell, as today promises smaller leftovers. Get on it this afternoon if you can, as winds should become more favorable late morning into early afternoon, as well as incoming tide providing a slightly bigger bump to play with. Choppier south-wind swell continues smaller for Friday, with moderate south-winds adding some chop, but still something to ride. Small easterly trade wind swell looks to fill in again Friday and Saturday. Looks like the swell should hold on for the next few days. We’ll we will keep you posted!
