This long stretch of south-facing beach is popular in summer with average peaks from mid to high tide only. After an hour of outgoing, things deteriorate rapidly.
Can attract a crowd escaping from the manic Myrtle Beach area. Some localism in summer.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
