South End

📍 Local Knowledge

South End in South Carolina is an exposed beach break that only works occasionally and lacks a consistent seasonal pattern. It performs best with offshore winds from the northwest and a southeast swell, receiving a mix of groundswells and windswells. The waves typically peel to the right, and the spot remains uncrowded even on good days. Surfers should be cautious of rips and sharks. Optimal conditions occur when a southeast swell aligns with northwest winds, with the most consistent clean waves usually found in winter, particularly in December.
