Good Morning. This is Chad with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report for Wednesday, August 9 at 8:30 a.m.

Waves at The Washout are thigh to waist high with stomach sets in glassy conditions.

Looking fun out there right now but a bit on the mushy side with the high tide.

Winds are NNE at 8 to 10 knots. We expect ESE winds at 5 to 10 knots this afternoon and surf should stay fairly clean today.

The first high tide will be at 9:34 a.m., and low tide will be at 3:38p.m.

Edisto Buoy is reading 2.6 ft. at 5 seconds in a combination of south wind waves and south-east swell.

Clean and glassy waves out there this morning average waist to stomach high and the surf should drop out some late morning with the low tide. The surf may pick back up late this afternoon as the tide comes in. Surf gets smaller late in the week. There is a tropical disturbance headed our way. It is not forecast to develop much, but its associated tropical wave could bring some swell to our beaches late in the weekend.

Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “A front will drop into the area today, lingering into Thursday before lifting back north. High pressure will rebuild Friday through early next week. A cold front could approach the area next Monday or Tuesday.”

It is 77* with clouds this morning. Expect rain and thunderstorms today with a high of 81*.

Sunset is at 8:12 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:37 a.m.

Thanks for checking in with Ocean Surf Shop.
