Good morning, this is Brad with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Thursday, Oct. 17 at 8:00 a.m.
The Carolina Surf Film Festival is coming up THIS weekend – that’s Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19; at Tradesman Brewing Co., downtown. Tickets and more information available at carolinasurffilmfestival.com.
We will have the full line of Billabong and O’Neill jackets, full-suits, and spring suits on the floor. Get ready for some cooler weather. Looks like waves on the way next week.
Surf at The Washout this morning is knee high, with occasional rare thigh high set.
The winds have shifted this morning to the north, north-west at 5 knots currently, which is producing a very soft, clean swell. If you decide to come out today, make sure to bring out a log or board with lots of foam.
We see winds trend more easterly throughout the day, remaining at 0 to 5 knots.
We have a high tide at 10:27 a.m, and a low tide will be at 4:53 p.m. The next high tide is at 10:50 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is reading 3.9 ft. at 7.7 seconds in a medium-period east, south-east ground swell, and 3.9 ft. at 4.8 seconds in a short-period north-west wind swell.
As high pressure sets up late week, we don’t expect much surf through Friday, but south wind swell again picks up Saturday through Tuesday as another cold front approaches our marine area. While the weather will certainly be unsettled, Saturday currently looks to be the biggest development in wave height. For those that enjoy surfing in high wind and rough weather conditions, this looks as though it’ll be your opportunity.
It’s 56* and clear this morning. Time for some serious neoprene. Look for a high of 70* and partly cloudy as the day progresses.
Water temperature has dropped to 76*. Get a spring suit.
Sunrise is at 7:25 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:43 p.m.

Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “Cool and dry high pressure will prevail through Friday. A storm system originating from the Gulf of Mexico will bring unsettled weather to our area this weekend. Another cold front is expected to follow during the first half of next week.
