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.

Folly Beach Pier Surf Guide

On average, the waves at Folly Beach Pier are considerably less powerful than whatever’s on tap at the Washout, but probably a bit more powerful than most other South Carolina beachbreaks. Big (but not too big) NE swells will often produce long, occasionally barreling lefts off the south side of the pier. Folly Beach Pier won’t really hold much more than a foot overhead. Read more
