Wednesday, Aug. 1
Choppy, drifty.
Good morning, this is Bates with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Wednesday, August 1, 2018.
The SSC ESA Governor’s Cup of surfing takes place this weekend. Come by the shop to get signed up, and win a state title.
It’s Tax Free Weekend this weekend. We’ll be having 20% off apparel, flip-flops and sunglasses, so save even more on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Surf at the Washout is averaging thigh-to-waist high. There is a stomach to rib high set in punch south wind swell.
Winds are south/south-west at 15 to 18 knots, and surf is choppy.
We see south-south-west winds later today increasing to 10 to 15 knots – increasing to 15 to 20 knots – and choppy surf later this afternoon. Surf could remain choppy throughout the day.
High tide will be at 11:23 a.m., and low tide will be at 5:25 p.m. The next high tide is at 11:42 p.m.
The Edisto buoy is reading 4.3 ft at 5.6 seconds in a mix of dominant south wind swell, and a smaller medium-period south-east swell.
Surf should drop off some as the tide drops out early afternoon in choppy conditions as the wind goes south this afternoon at 10 to 15 knots. Surf should once again pick back up to thigh high very late day with a plus set as the tide comes back in late today with choppy conditions. Surf continues rideable for your work week a high pressure sits to our east and low pressure hangs to our west. This will keep on-shore winds in the forecast and lazy semi-choppy trade-wind swell in the forecast averaging thigh to waist high (plus) for the work week.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast for our marine area calls for: “Unsettled conditions will persist through Friday as the region remains situated between high pressure offshore and an inland trough of low pressure. High pressure will build in for the weekend, before another inland trough develops early next week.”
It’s 78* and cloudy this morning. Look for a high of 84, with a 50% chance of rain throughout the day.
Water temperature is 84*.
Sunset is at 8:19 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:31 a.m.
