Dewees Island Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Dewees Island is a private, boat-accessible beach-break characterized by shifting sandbars and secluded lineups. It performs best in late summer, early fall, and early spring, particularly when southeast and south swells align with offshore winds. The most rideable surf typically appears around low to mid tide, offering small, peelable peaks that are best suited to intermediate surfers. Access requires ferry or private boat, which keeps crowds to a minimum. Surfers should take caution due to rip currents, sharp shells, and wildlife hazards common to this undeveloped barrier island.
