Pawleys Island Surf Report

Daily surf for Pawleys Island and Litchfield Beach — wave height, period, wind, and a short read on what the water is doing.

This is a small-wave stretch of the South Carolina coast. Most sessions are knee-to-waist high and favor a longboard, a mid-length, or a high-volume fish. Check the report before you leave the house, then use the cam and tide chart to time the paddle-out.

1-3ft

11.2ft @ 8s • Wind 16mph N

Fair / Clean

The surf is looking small today, around knee-high, with choppy conditions due to north winds at 20 mph. A longboard or bigger board will serve you well if you decide to paddle out. Just keep an eye on that moderate rip current risk.
