Thursday, Sept. 30

Small ground-swell lines. Clean early. Choppy later.

Time of Report: 8:30 a.m.

Wave Forecast: Knee. Possible thigh on incoming. Pretty small, overall.

Traffic: Some, not too bad.

Parking: Plenty.

Dangers: None.

Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Thursday, September 30 at 8:30 a.m. 
Surf at the Washout is small. It’s knee-high. There is some small ground swell. Small being the operative word. Perhaps a thigh set on the incoming late morning.  
The surf zone is very clean with a north-west wind at 5 knots.  
Winds will stay moderate today from the north-west this morning, going south east at 10 to 12 knots this afternoon. Surf should get a bit bumpy later today. 
We have a low tide at 9 a.m. Tide just started coming in. High tide will be at 3:35 p.m. The next low tide will be at 9:52 p.m. 
The Edisto buoy is reading 1.6 ft. at 11 seconds in a medium-period east/south-east swell. 
It is another beautiful morning on Folly Beach. We have perfect fall beach weather. Everyone is waiting for long period swell from Major Hurricane Sam begins to filter into our beaches starting small tomorrow and building into this weekend. Nothing like a weekend hurricane swell to bring out the dusty boards from the old storage unit. Might be some easterly winds on the swell, but conditions should be nice this weekend. Looks like another beautiful swell coming with no need to pack the sandbags and put up the plywood. Let’s hope we stay so luck for the rest of hurricane season. 
Your National Weather Service Marine Weather Forecast for our area calls for: “A weak cold front will linger in or near the region through tonight. High pressure will build across the area through the weekend. An upper level disturbance will impact the area early to mid next week.”
It’s a beautiful 74* and sunny. Look for a high of 812* and sun today. Awesome fall weather here at Folly Beach. 
Water temperature is going down. It’s 79*. 
Sunrise is at 7:12 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:07 p.m.
