Marine Weather Statement issued August 6 at 2:18AM EDT by NWS Charleston SC

Effective: Thu August 6, 2026, 2:18 AM
Expires: Thu August 6, 2026, 12:00 PM

The areas affected include... Waters from South Santee River SC to Savannah GA out 60 NM... Waters from Savannah GA to Altamaha Sound GA out 60 NM... Charleston Harbor... Conditions will once again be favorable for the development of waterspouts across the nearshore and offshore waters of Southeast South Carolina and Southeast Georgia, including the Charleston Harbor, this morning. The waterspout risk will be highest near lines of towering clouds and in the vicinity of showers and thunderstorms. Conditions will become less favorable for waterspout development by noon as the sea breeze begins to form along the beaches.

If waterspouts occur, move your boat away from the waterspout. Remember that waterspouts can develop rapidly and produce winds and seas that are dangerous for vessels and everyone onboard. Report waterspouts via social media or call the National Weather Service directly at 1-888-383-2024.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
