More about Little Tybee Island surfspot
General: This uninhabited, beautiful five-mile-long island south of Tybee is accessible by boat, kayak or a fairly long (half-mile) paddle. Surfers visit it often because Little Tybee picks up more swell than Tybee and its shifting sandbars can offer good surf, particularly from east-southeast hurricane swells. It also works on east-northeast swells. Be careful to paddle across on a neutral tide. A lot of water flows through the channel and you might just get sucked right out to sea. Tides: mid to high Size: knee-head high Wind: W, NW Swell: NE, E, SE Bottom: sand Paddling: Hard NE and SW winds can produce strong currents, but generally pretty mellow. Spot Rating: Can offer a fun little wave on its day. Worth considering if Tybee proper looks fun or it is a crowded weekend.
