Today

Knee-thigh high surf from local windswell/trade swell mix. Semi-clean early and late day.

Small but rideable surf in the water, mainly from ESE swell and E windswell mix. Best on the bigger boards with the lack of power. Better spots are seeing thigh high lines but without much shape. We habe light NE winds to start the day and conditions are semi-clean. Winds pick up through midday then tilt more SE for the PM hours, so we see textured conditions throughout the day but winds do ease somewhat towards the evening.

The Pier/Windjammer Surf Guide

The surfing on Isle of Palms is mostly centered around the pier -- with the north side being the most popular peak -- and the Windjammer bar and resort to the south of the pier. Keep in mind that the locals like both these spots, but, as long as you're polite, there shouldn't be a problem. Its wide sandbars generally make this area more conducive to longboarding. Read more
