Windswell builds some more. Strong winds mean less than ideal conditions but OK for time of year.

Moderate southerly winds at dawn and short period windswell trying to redevelop. The shape and quality looks pretty bad as the tide drops early this morning so I'd wait versus trying to find something now.

There should be some chunky windswell waves on offer this afternoon with the mid to higher tide so that's when I'd look to try to find something to surf. Conditions will be choppy and disorganized with the strong southerly winds, but it could definitely be worse.

Kiawah Island/Seabrook Island Surf Guide

These are exclusive residential/resort beaches to the south of Charleston. Kiawah can get good surf on strong S swells, particularly at Sandy Point on the north end of the island. The south end of the island, particularly Seabrook, can occasionally be blocked from southeasterly swells by offshore sandbars, from outflow from the North Edisto River and from northeast swells by Sandy Point. For public beach access, head towards the Fresh Fields shopping center and the Beachwalker County Park. Read more
