The Dunes Club, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA is a private oceanfront club spot on the Grand Strand, known more for its small but quality surf windows than for consistent wave production.
Spot description
- Type: Beach break
- Setting: Sandy shoreline with shifting bars
- Access: Private / restricted through The Dunes Club area, so access is limited compared with public Myrtle Beach beaches
- Best for: Intermediate to advanced surfers when conditions line up, though smaller summer surf can be rideable for longboarders and beginners with guidance
Wave characteristics
- Waves are usually fast, punchy, and somewhat inconsistent
- Best when a good swell hits from the east to southeast
- Sandbars can create peaky, short-rights and lefts
- Because the bottom is sandy, the break can change a lot after storms, tides, and seasonal bar shifts
Best conditions
- Swell: East or southeast swell
- Wind: Light offshore or light/variable winds
- Tide: Often better around mid tide, though this can vary with bar setup
- Season: Fall and winter generally offer the best chance of quality surf in Myrtle Beach
Hazards / considerations
- Shifting sandbars and strong shorebreak during larger surf
- Can get crowded when conditions are good
- Rip currents are common along the South Carolina coast
- Limited access means you should respect local rules and property boundaries
Overall vibe
A localized, semi-private beach break that can produce fun, compact surf when Atlantic swell reaches the Grand Strand, but it’s not a highly consistent or beginner-friendly public surf destination.
