Pawleys Inlet

Pawleys Inlet is an ESE-facing beach break in DeBordieu Colony, South Carolina, United States. It picks up swell from ENE to SSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 44% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the WNW: light winds or WNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while ESE onshores chop it up.
