Skull Inlet

Skull Inlet is an SE-facing beach break in Beaufort County, South Carolina, United States. It picks up swell from NE to SSE and SSE to S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 51% 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.
