The most popular and consistent spot in southern South Carolina. Semi-submerged short groins every 100 yards (91m) are a hazard at higher tides, but generally the sandbars are farther out. Can hold the larger swells. Mid incoming can deliver powerful, hollow waves.
Besides the rips and submerged chunks of jetty, there are also sharks, jellyfish, and territorial locals to watch out for.

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.
