Myrtle Beach 67th (South Carolina, USA) is a classic Southeast Atlantic beachbreak on the Grand Strand, known more for fun, accessible surf than heavy performance waves.
Spot overview
- Type: Beachbreak
- Region: South Carolina, USA
- Exposure: Open Atlantic swell, with fairly consistent but usually modest surf
- Best for: Beginners to intermediate surfers, longboarders, soft-top learners, and occasional shortboard fun days
- Vibe: Busy beach-town setting with easy access, plenty of nearby amenities, and crowds in good surf
Wave characteristics
- The waves are typically soft to moderately punchy, with sandbar-dependent peaks that can shift after storms and changing tides.
- On a good swell, you can get clean, rideable peaks with decent shape, especially when wind and tide line up.
- On average days, it tends to be small and mellow, making it approachable for learning.
- Best conditions often come when there’s a clean swell, light offshore wind, and an organized sandbar.
Conditions
- Tide: Can be tide-sensitive; some sandbars work better at mid tide, but this can change frequently.
- Wind: Offshore or light winds are best; strong onshore winds can make it choppy quickly.
- Swell: Handles Atlantic swell from the east and southeast well; tropical systems can produce the best surf.
- Water: Warmer in summer, cooler in winter; surfable year-round with proper gear.
Hazards and considerations
- Rip currents can be present, especially during bigger surf or stormy conditions.
- Sandbars can create closeouts when conditions are poor.
- Crowds can build quickly because of the easy access and reputation of Myrtle Beach surf.
Overall
Myrtle Beach 67th is a reliable, beginner-friendly beachbreak that can produce genuinely fun surf when the sandbars and weather cooperate. It’s not usually a world-class wave, but it’s a solid spot for casual sessions and learning the basics.
