Nice info on the spot!

Washout is best but pier and some south side spots are rideable. Hurricane season is the best for waves.
Atmosphere
Awesome crowd, beach is uncommercialized, so far. McKevlins surf shop is great and Charleston is incredible.
General
Waves are flat 30% of time but the atmosphere and Charleston make up for it.

It's true... - this place sucks, your board will collect dust in your garage if you liver here. Oh yeah, Folly fires, about once a year, but the people love the surf culture, they wear the clothes, lots of stickers on their cars, it's a total joke.

Best season - september is probably the best time as generally at least one storm then provides solid surf for sometimes days on end. Fall. Spring, and Winter can have surf occasionally due to noreasters and low pressure systems. Summer is miserablely flat unless there is a storm in the water. Check out NOAAs wave watch III model regularly, theres actually gonna be some decent sized waves forecasted tuesday
