Today

Weak, semi-clean AM window for the big boards. PM onshores add local windswell.

Dawn-Midday Outlook: Minor but rideable surf on the early AM higher tide Mostly in the knee high range so not much to get excited about. Semi-clean early but surf is weak so you'll need a big board.

Afternoon Outlook: Not much surf expected for the PM. It should be just enough to push a bigger board but looking tiny. Some windswell picking up late day as onshore winds increase. Poor surf at best.

Folly Beach Pier Surf Guide
