Good morning, this is Chad with your Ocean Surf Shop surf report and forecast for Wednesday August 30th at 8:30 a.m. We have a Super Moon, Full Moon, Blue Moon and Hurricane Idalia on the way. Finishing August like a champ. Happy birthday Harper!
**We will be closing today at 1:00 p.m. and reopen tomorrow as soon as we can within our normal operating hours.
We will be having a Labor Day board sale, with $100 off many boards in the shop. Come check out what’s on sale.
There is a little swell left and none of your friends are here.
Surf at The Washout this morning is about waist to stomach and rolling glassy. There is a lot of water coming off high tide at 7:34 a.m.
Winds are slack after the passing storm and its pretty clean. Winds are light out of the southeast at 2 kts.
Look for winds to gradually pick up 5 to 10 knots out of the south-east and continue to increase throughout the day as Idalia approaches. Tonight, winds ranging from 35 kts to 60 kts expected with gusts into the 70’s
Tide is going out. Low tide will be at 1:36 p.m., and high tide will be at 8:17 p.m.
The Edisto Buoy is reading 3.9 feet at 11 seconds in a long period east/south-east swell compliments of Hurricane Franklin.
Today we see the wind and rain begin to pick up throughout the day, as well as some choppy, on-shore waves from what is now Hurricane Idalia. It looks to move across the big bend in Florida and then right into the Charleston area overnight Thursday. After the passage of Idalia, winds come strong off-shore west, then north-west late day Thursday. Hard to say if there will be much of a clean-up as Idalia moves quickly off-shore and to our north-east. Stay tuned.
Your NOAA Marine Weather Forecast calls for: “Hurricane Idalia is expected to bring significant impacts to the area today into Thursday morning. High pressure will then return late week and continue into the weekend. Refer to the latest advisory on Idalia issued by the National Hurricane Center.”
Water temperature is around 85*.
It’s already 83* and with clouds moving in from the west this morning. Look for a high of 87* with sun mixed with clouds. We are under a tropical storm watch, and expect flooding to begin overnight into tomorrow.
Sunrise is at 6:53 a.m., and sunset will be at 7:47 p.m.
