Thursday, October 28

Choppy weak, but a building wind swell.

Time of Report: 8:30 a.m.
Wave Forecast: Flat.
Traffic: None.
Parking: Still cars at the Washout with a film crew.
Dangers: None.

Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Thursday, October 30 at 8:30 a.m.

Surf at the Washout this morning is really bad. It’s flat and really weak at the lower tide.

Winds are from the east at 15 knot and are starting to pick up.  

Look for south-east winds to be on the increase this afternoon at 15 to 20 knots as a low pressure system moves into our marine area.    

Tide just started coming in, and high tide will be at 1:49 p.m. The next low tide will be at 8:17 p.m.

The Edisto buoy is reading 1.3 ft. at 8 seconds in a medium period easterly swell.     

We should see surf begin to pick up slowly this afternoon as south-east winds and short-period, choppy wind swell builds late day as the tide goes out. Probably not too much to write home about today. Surf should build significantly Friday in a choppy south wind swell as a low pressure system and accompanying cold front move through our marine area. Look for poor conditions, but it will have some size. There might be a small leftover wave Saturday morning, but unfortunately surf looks small again for Sunday as winds come north and cooler weather moves into our beaches. Surf looks small next week.

Your National Weather Service Marine Weather Forecast for our area calls for: “A low pressure system will impact the region today through the end of the week. High pressure will return on Sunday and prevail through the middle of next week.”

It’s 60* and mostly cloudy this morning. Look for a high of 72* today. We expect rain and storms this afternoon with bad weather moving in and lots of rain.  

Water temperature is 73*.  

Sunrise is at 7:34 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:32 p.m.
