Postcards from South Carolina

Hello Friends, On a family visit to the east coast of the US. South Carolina is one of those places where the coast isn’t very well aligned to the prevailing swell so it’s usually small to flat. The picture above was taken at Isle of Palms which is more or less due east of Charleston and it’s what a good wave an above average day looks like. The coast is shallow a long way out, so by the time the waves get to the surf zone, they’re pretty gutless and slow. But, hey, you can catch ‘ em and go a ways, so that’s something. Americans gave us Halloween and we gave them Bluey. South Carolina forest, Old Dorchester
