The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you—this is a lean stretch for Myrtle Beach. There’s no real swell to speak of for the first few days, and the wind is a problem for the most part. This is one of those periods where you’ll be watching the ocean more than riding it.
We’re looking at Myrtle Beach - Pier 14. This is a beach and pier setup, and it's exposed to the southeast. It’s normally a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s been inconsistent lately, and that holds here. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real chance at anything rideable comes on Monday morning, July 20th. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as a mirror. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the south at a short 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (72). It’s surfable, but only just. It’s a fleeting moment of calm before the wind picks up again in the afternoon.
After that, things get messy again. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore for days, and the swell stays small and weak. The only other brief window that catches my eye is Wednesday morning, July 22nd. We get a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the northeast, which cleans things up a little. The swell is a 3ft from the south at 7 seconds, combined energy of 104. It’s ordinary—nothing to get excited about—but it’s the cleanest it will be all week. Not a standout, just the best of a bad bunch.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that really qualifies as a standout. The swell never gets above 6ft, and when it does on the 21st and the 19th, the wind is a choppy, lumpy mess. The period is always short—under 8 seconds—so the waves are weak and crumbly. The combined energy values mostly sit under 100, with a few nudging into the low triple digits, which tells you the wave energy is pretty weak overall. Long range into the first few days of August, the pattern doesn’t shift much. Small swell, poor wind, and messy conditions. If you need to get wet, aim for that glassy Monday morning, but don’t expect much.
Stay patient, fellas. It’s a flat spell, but it never stays poor forever.
