Sullivan's Island

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