Tuesday, July 31
Bumpy, soft. Weaker wind swell.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Tuesday, July 31, 2018.
The SSC ESA Governor’s Cup of surfing takes place this weekend. Come by the shop to get signed up, and win a state title.
It’s Tax Free Weekend this weekend. We’ll be having 20% off apparel, flip-flops and sunglasses, so save even more on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Surf at the Washout is averaging thigh-to-waist high. Rarely there is a bigger set, but it is soft.
Winds are west at 5 to 8 knots, and surf is bumpy with clean faces.
We see south-west winds later today increasing to 10 to 15 knots – increasing to 15 to 20 knots – and choppy surf later this afternoon. Surf could clean up some in the numerous rain storms expected today.
High tide will be at 10:44 a.m., and low tide will be at 4:43 p.m. The next high tide is at 11:06 p.m.
The Edisto buoy is reading 3.9 ft at 5 seconds in a mix of dominant south wind swell, and a smaller medium-period south-east swell.
Surf should drop off some as the tide drops out early afternoon in choppy conditions as the wind goes south this afternoon at 10 to 15 knots. Surf should once again pick back up to thigh high very late day with a plus set as the tide comes back in late today with choppy conditions. Surf continues rideable for your work week a high pressure sits to our east and low pressure hangs to our west. This will keep on-shore winds in the forecast and lazy semi-choppy trade-wind swell in the forecast averaging thigh to waist high (plus) for the work week.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “Unsettled conditions will persist through the week as the region remains between high pressure offshore and an inland trough of low pressure. Lower rain chances are then expected early next week as a more typical summertime pattern sets up.”
It’s 77* and rainy this morning. Look for a high of 86* with clouds and rain – on-and-off – becoming less frequent this afternoon.
Water temperature is 86*.
Sunset is at 8:19 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:31 a.m.
