Tuesday, August 17
Semi-choppy. Going choppier later today.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Tuesday, August 17 at 8:30 a.m.
Surf at the Washout this morning is waist-to-stomach high and semi-choppy with lots of storms and rain in the area.
We have east winds at 15 to 18 knots.
Look for winds to switch south-east at 15 to 20 knots this afternoon with choppy surf building some on the incoming tide late morning.
We have a low tide at 9:33 a.m., and a high tide at 4:18 p.m.
The Edisto buoy is reading 5.6 ft. at 8 seconds is a building south-east wind swell.
There is some swell off-shore today with south winds chopping things up at the beach, and lots of storms and rain in the area. This continues all day, with south-east winds increasing this afternoon. This keeps surf choppy. This trend continues into Wednesday, with swell dropping off some as tropical on-shore flow begins to ease some. Tropical storm Henri is moving south of Bermuda over the next few days, and this should enhance our ground swell a bit on Thursday and Friday. The storm is out of our swell window for the most part, but there could be some swell sneaking through. Waves fall off for the weekend.
Your National Weather Service Marine Weather Forecast for our area calls for: “Deep tropical moisture will persist through mid week as Tropical Cyclone Fred and its remnants pass to the west and Atlantic high pressure remains to the east. Weak troughing should then persist across the region later this week through early next week.
It is dumping rain at the beach this morning. Look for rain on-and-off today, with a high of 84*.
Water temperature is around 85*.
Sunrise is at 6:45 a.m. and sunset will be at 8:01 p.m.
