Folly Beach North

Folly Beach North is an SE-facing beach break in Folly Beach, South Carolina, United States. It picks up swell from NE to SSE and S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 46% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NW: light winds or NW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SE onshores chop it up.
