Summerville is a long stretch of white sand beach that has a laid-back vibe, making it a pretty good spot for surfers. The beach runs for quite a way, providing a couple of different surf options at both ends. The south end is especially popular, commonly known for its rivermouth, which often shapes up some decent sand bars.

The surf here generally works well with a southeast swell, but you can also catch some waves with northeast and southwest swells. It handles swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and breaks over sand, which is good for surfers looking for a softer landing. The waves can come in both left and right, so there's something for everyone. For the best experience, the winds are usually preferable coming from the northwest, and you can surf the spot at low, mid, or high tide, giving you some flexibility based on the conditions.

Summerville can get busy, especially when the conditions are right. It’s a good idea to check out the local surf scene to get a feel for when to hit the water, as it can change quickly. Keep an eye on the tides and wind, and you'll be able to maximize your time in the water. Overall, it’s a solid spot for a surf session!
