Tuesday, May 19
Choppy, poor form. Choppy all day.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Tuesday, May 19 at 8:30 a.m.
The City of Folly Beach is now open. Social distancing rules will be enforced. Please see the City of Folly Beach’s Web Site for more information.
We will be open from 9:15 a.m. until 6 p.m. Please follow social distancing protocols when shopping.
Waves at Folly this morning are thigh-to-waist high. There is an occ. stomach set.
Winds are south-west at 10 to 12 knots, and surf-zone is choppy and disorganized, but rideable.
Look for increasing south-easterly winds at 10 to 20 knots this afternoon, with building, choppy south wind swell in the forecast.
Tide is now going out. We have a low tide at 12:20 p.m., and a high tide will be at 6:45 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is reading 3.6 feet at 6 seconds in a fresh south-east wind swell, ground swell combo. So, there should be some choppy surf to ride today.
Tropical storm Arthur heads west of the Outer Banks today and will head south-west as a tropical depression for the remainder of the week. We see more, small south-east wind swell fill in today and into late week as a deep upper-level low lingers off-shore. This should combine with small long-period ground swell from Tropical Storm Arthur late week. There will be south winds on it, but at least there should be something to ride this week. Surf looks to get smaller for the weekend as high pressure sets up
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “Deep low pressure will linger to the west for much of the week. Atlantic high pressure will build toward the area during the weekend and linger through the middle of next week.
It’s 74 today with sun this morning. Look for a high of 79 with a chance of a thunderstorm later today.
Water temperature is around 75*.
Sunrise is at 6:18 a.m. and sunset will be at 8:14 p.m.
