Waves at The Pier this morning are waist to chest high with head high sets. Possibly slightly bigger.
Winds are east this morning at 15 to 20 knots. Surf zone is very choppy and bumpy and there is a drift down the beach.
Winds are expected east today at 15 to 20 knots. Look for choppy wind swell all day.
High tide is at 8:37 a.m., and low tide will be at 2:42 p.m. The next high tide is at 8:51 p.m.
The Edisto buoy is reading 7.2 ft. at 8 seconds in medium period east/south-east wind swell.
We see a strong, punchy east/south-east trade-wind swell fill in this week thanks to on-shore winds compliments of high pressure to our east and what is now Hurricane Michael moving into the Florida Panhandle during the work week. This weather pattern will be enhancing on-shore wind and rain for our marine area as the storm crosses Georgia and takes a swipe at us Thursday. So, we have some big, choppy, short period wind waves on tap this week.
Your NOAA MarinWeather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “Hurricane Michael will move north across the Gulf of Mexico before making landfall along the Florida Panhandle Wednesday. Michael will then weaken to a tropical storm as it moves northeast across Georgia and South Carolina Wednesday into Thursday. Cooler high pressure will then build in through early next week. Refer to the latest advisory on Hurricane Michael issued by the National Hurricane Center.”
It’s 77* with clouds this morning. Expect a high of 84* with a 50/50 chance of rain and T-storms.
Water temperature is 82*.
