Break Details
Myrtle Beach Springmaid Pier is an exposed beach and pier break sitting at the quiet southern end of Myrtle Beach, tucked between the DoubleTree Resort and Myrtle Beach State Park. The pier structure creates some wave influence on either side, and the break receives a mix of groundswells and windswells with the ideal swell angle from the southeast. Northwest offshore winds produce the cleanest conditions. The Springmaid area is notably less crowded than central Myrtle Beach, offering a more relaxed surfing experience. Surfline also identifies this area as part of the Springmaid Beach break zone — one of the named spots on their Grand Strand map. Best conditions arrive in winter, with December historically producing the most consistent clean surf on this stretch.
Best conditions: Southeast swell, northwest offshore winds, winter swells — December most consistent
