Tuesday, September 4
Choppy, Drift from north-to-south.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Tuesday, September 4 at 8:30 a.m.
Since the break is kind of FUBAR at The Washout due to beach re-nourishment, we’ll be coming at you from the Pier for a while for your daily surf report.
Surf at the Pier is knee to thigh high with a waist high set. Occasionally there is a bigger set to stomach high. It should get a push as the tide comes in mid-morning.
Winds are east/north-east at 10 to 15 knots, and surf is bumpy and choppy.
Look for easterly winds today around 15 to 20 knots this afternoon and choppy, drifty surf later today.
We have a low tide at 9:04 a.m., and a high tide will be at 3:30 p.m. The next low tide is at 10 p.m.
The Edisto buoy is reading 3.3 ft. at 7 seconds in a south-east swell mixed with a short-period south-east wind swell.
There is some swell at the buoy this morning, so surf should be OK on the incoming tide morning. Expect easterly winds at 10 to 15 knots this afternoon making surf choppy. There is now T.S. Gordon (moving into the Gulf of Mexico) moving near the Florida Keys that is creating the slightest bit of swell off-shore for the next few days. We should see continued on-shore flow with high pressure to our north well off the Mid-Atlantic coast. We could see a tropical wave bring more wind-swell later in the work week. Winds trend east this week, so there will be a wind swell component at the beach chopping up the small swell. We also have Tropical Storm Florence is in Central Atlantic and could add a ground-swell component to our surf late in the work week, building into the upcoming weekend, with a lot of action predicted off the Coast of Africa AFTER Florence. Overall surf looks small but rideable at the right sand-bars/tides over the next few days at least, with bigger surf ahead over the weekend.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “High pressure will remain the dominant feature into late week. Tropical Storm Gordon over the eastern Gulf of Mexico will move northwest and into the central Gulf Coast Tuesday night, possibly as a weak hurricane. A tropical wave could then impact the area from the east late in the week.”
It’s 80* and partly cloudy this morning. Look for a high of 88* and clouds with some sun and a 50% chance of a shower this morning.
Water temperature is 85*.
Sunset is at 7:39 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:56 a.m.
