Surf Folly Beach Pier

Folly Beach Pier - South Carolina Folly Beach Pier features a sandy bottom with left-breaking waves, ideal for longboarding. The spot works best at mid to high tide, particularly during rising and falling tides, with optimal conditions from northeast swells. Access is straightforward, with instant public access available. This laid-back surf spot is perfect for both beginners and seasoned surfers, offering fun sessions when conditions align. While the waves are generally less powerful than those at the nearby Washout, the occasional long lefts off the southern side of the pier can provide enjoyable rides. Northwest winds are preferred, and surfers can use various boards, including shortboards and longboards. Be cautious of local restrictions near the pier and peak times, especially during summer from 10 AM to 6 PM, to ensure a smooth surfing experience.
