Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Tuesday, January 21 at 8:30 a.m.   

Surf at Folly this morning is knee-to-thigh high with a waist set in a high-angled north wind swell.     

Winds are north at 20 to 25 knots, and surf is side-shore, very drifty and choppy.  

Winds continue north today at 20 to 25 knots, making for a side-shore, choppy, drifty surf zone all day.  

We have a low tide at 11:11 a.m., and a high tide will be at 5:08 p.m.

The Edisto Buoy is reading 3.6 ft. at 8 seconds in an east/north-east wind swell.

We see building north-east wind swell this week, with a high angled and mostly choppy conditions. There will be plenty of drift down the beach. Lots of North north-east swell in the Atlantic heading to Florida, some should push in to our beaches, but it’ll be windy and drifty. Late week, some models are showing a low develop in the gulf and moving near our marine area. But for now its going to be choppy, drifty and cold this week.  

After the cold front passage yesterday, it’s cold. It’s 34* and sunny with a wind chill of 27*. Look for a high of 44* today with wind and sun.

Water temperature has dropped back down to 57* with the cold snap.

Sunrise is at 7:20 a.m. and sunset will be at 5:40 p.m.
