South Carolina Forecast
Mike Watson •Today
1-2' ESE swell with onshore winds. Rideable on a big board and OK for beginners but far from ideal.
Dawn-Midday: Southerly winds and small ESE swell this morning offering crumbly waves in the knee-thigh range at the better spots. Weak, broken lines coming through that look like just enough to push a bigger board or have a surf lesson. Less tide later this morning won't do many favors, so I'd probably look at going early if you want to try to find something.
Afternoon Outlook: The afternoon incoming tide should offer OK waves for what it is, but onshore winds set up bumpy conditions.
