South End surf guide

Surf: With the right conditions, there can be longer workable rights that reform on the inside. Occasionally hollow, but generally very inconsistent. Environment: Restrooms are as far as the facilities go at this uncrowded break. Surf: General: Nice occasional right sandspit point at the south end of Pawley's Island. Fickle, but it can work well on east/southeast swells. Hollow at low tide. Can be really sharky, as well as full of jellyfish and bluefish. Don't drop in on locals here. Park at the south end. Tides: Low to mid Size: Waist-overhead high Wind: W, NW Swell: S, SE Bottom: Sand. Paddling: Hard NE and SW winds can produce strong currents, but generally pretty mellow. Spot Rating: Scattered peaks, but when the sand is right you can get a pretty long quality wave here. Access: Lots of public access. Parking may be full on summer days. Crowds: Crowd Factor: On good swells, can be fairly heavy with the area's best surfers. Local Vibe: Not bad most of the time but can be heavy on good days. As always, humility and respect will serve you well. Environment: Some runoff pollution after heavy rains. Hazards: Sharkier than average. Strong rips on outgoing tide. Season: Late summer, early fall, early spring.
