Thursday, Oct. 15
Weak, semi-choppy. Choppier for afternoon with increasing SE winds.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Thursday, October 15 at 8:30 a.m.
There are no more parking restriction at Folly Beach. Parking is now available on Center Street and all side-streets.
Surf at Folly is flat, maybe knee. It’s super weak. Not good.
Winds are east – side/on-shore – at 10 knots. Surf zone is semi-choppy.
Look for winds to shift south-east at 10 to 15 knots, adding chop to small wind chop surf this afternoon.
Tide is going out. We have a low tide at 1:11 p.m., and a high tide will be at 7 p.m.
Edisto Buoy is down. Virtual buoy is showing 2.6 ft at 10 seconds in medium period east swell.
This swell continues to be smaller into late-week but south-east winds could increase surf size a bit this afternoon and Friday morning into the longboard range. After a cold front passage on Friday night, look for high-angled, north-east wind swell to increase behind the front for your weekend. This should increase wave size, but surf will also be drifty north-to-south and semi-choppy. We also have a low in the Eastern Atlantic starting to fire up as it approaches the Lesser Antilles that could head into the Caribbean. This low has got a rough road ahead, but it’s something to keep an eye on in the tropics for maybe week-to-ten-days out.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast calls for: “High pressure will prevail before a cold front pushes through the region Friday evening. High pressure will return thereafter.”
It’s 75* with some sun behind the clouds at the beach this morning. Look for a great beach day with sun and a high of 78*. There is a 30% chance for a shower later this afternoon.
Water temperature is 74*.
Sunrise is at 7:23 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:46 p.m.
