South Carolina Avenue surf guide

Surf: General: Good rights and lefts break off a wooden groin in the middle of the spot. It's best on an east/northeast swell with a northwest wind, but it doesn't pick up a south swell. On a big northeast swell, beware of drifting into rocks at the south end of the beach, near Central Pier. No beach tags required. The crowd can be intense. Tides: Mid to high generally best Size: Waist high-well overhead Wind: NW Swell: ENE Bottom: Sand Paddling: Usually pretty mellow, can be tough on bigs days. Spot Rating: Usually pretty average for the region but can get fun. Access: Easy, but parking is difficult, and there is limited metered parking. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Moderate. Local Vibe: Mellow to moderate. Environment: Pretty clean overall. Hazards: Shallow bottom, rip currents. Season: September through March
