Local Knowledge

Coastguard/St. Simons in Georgia is an exposed beach break with inconsistent surf and no defined seasonal pattern. It performs best with offshore winds from the northwest and a swell direction from the east, receiving a balanced mix of windswells and groundswells. The break primarily features left-hand waves and is best surfed around high tide as it’s rising. It is rarely crowded, offering a more relaxed session, but surfers should be cautious of rips, rocks, locals, and sharks. Optimal conditions occur when an east swell combines with northwest winds, with the most consistent clean waves typically found in winter, especially in November.
