Tuesday, September 12
Clean, but closing out on the long period.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Tuesday, September 12 at 8:30 a.m.
We also have wet-suit jackets and spring suits in stock. You’ll need it late week when the Lee swell starts to get big.
Surf at has picked up just a bit as more of the Hurricane Lee swell pushes into our beaches. We have waist-to-stomach high surf at The Washout, but it is closing out with the long period of the swell, but it still looks pretty fun. It’ll likely get better this afternoon as the tide moves in late day.
Winds are light and variable this morning, and surf zone is clean, but there are some rip-currents with the big ground swell.
We see south winds at 5 to 10 knots this afternoon, and this should add surface chop to building ground swell late day.
Tide is going out, and low tide is at 12:40 p.m. The next high tide will be at 7:05 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is reading 3.9 feet at 13 seconds in a long period east/south east swell compliments of hurricane Lee.
Hurricane Lee which is now well north of the Puerto Rico, and should travel north through our swell window through Thursday, and into Friday. Surf should gradually build throughout mid-late week. Look for Lee swell to peak Wednesday into Thursday with shoulder high to overhead groundswell to be expected. Early-to-mid week wind forecast looks favorable. Thursday and Friday, we will see increased north/north-east winds behind a cold front, so hopefully the strong winds won’t affect it too much, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Lots of swell on the way. Even long-range models over 240 hours are beginning to hint at another Hurricane entering our window next week. The shop is stocked and ready to get your gear before the swell hits. Know your limits, and surf safe.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast calls for: “Weak high pressure will linger across the region, before a cold front crosses the area Wednesday night. Cool and dry high pressure is expected late week into the weekend.
Water temperature is around 83*.
It’s 79 with sun and humid with sun this morning. Look for a high of 85* and clouds on-and-off this afternoon.
Sunrise is at 6:57 a.m., and sunset will be at 7:38 p.m.
