Back to the smallies
Running only 2 feet the rest of the week. Neither ditubance in the Atlantic is expected to have any impact on SC in the near future. Roberto
Perfect conditions
Saturday was glass with light wind and that looks to be the norm with 6-8 foot swells peaking Sunday evening but a strong 4-6 foot swell continues through Tuesday. Go SURF! Roberto
Plan to call in sick Friday.
Swell should be increasing in the 3 foot + range as early as Thursday at sun set. But Friday is the day to call in as the swell should be on the same scale as Danielle (head high plus late in the day into Saturday). I am seeing winds not over 10 mph from the […]
Just a wee bit o wave.
Buoy data showing 2 feet for the next couple of days with light winds. We will experience higher than normal tides through Tuesday so that pretty much cancels out any morning surf. Check the afternoon where you surf to see if the low tides will move your log. Roberto
No more waves
Its been a busy the last few days with decent surf but it is down in the one foot range for the next few days. The weekend may bring a bump. Roberto
Hurricane Earl arrives late Thursday.
WAX UP. Still much is unknown at this time but 4 foot plus should be expected as Earl passes off the SC coast. Plus the winds do not appear to be as big a factor as with the last storm. Friday is showing west winds as the storm passes so we could have glass in […]
As predicted, less than stellar.
NE winds pretty much blew out the last wave set from Hurricane Danielle that barely got to 5 foot. Strong lateral currents continue and wind chop dominates. Thursday Earl waves arrive. I am still going to say we will be diasappointed as while this storm will come closer to SC and NC, the winds are […]
A lot of hype about a swell not yet here.
Head high plus by Sunday they predict. Lots of surf. I say, maybe not ridable. While a Cat 4 hurricane 1200 miles off the coast will produce some swell, I am more concern about the strong E winds that are going to really be pushing this swell into a frothy mess. Some models say 9 […]
Steady small swell for the next couple of days.
Drag those long boards out and soon change over to short boards come this weekend as 4-5 feet are expected as Hurricane Danielle passes east of Bermuda. Plus a second tropical wave behind Danielle looks favorable for development. These storms have mixed surf results but the slower and bigger they are, the more likely we […]
Changes are coming.
The calm mornings for long boards is going to change now that we have a Hurricane in the Atlantic. Models show by Saturday a swell starting, but I must say after years of watching these storms, only those that are slow moving ever generat a decent ride. So make plans for the coming weekend. As […]
