Intercoastal would be great at this time of year!

Wacca Watche has a public boat ramp in Murrells Inlet on the intercostal and its fresh water. Also, you have to find sandy island and check it out.

suits for 70 degree water? SC air temps must still be mid 80s... no need for suits :-)

he is coming in november

Wacca Watche public ramp is west of 17 on Wacheshaw road. It dead ends into the intercoastal/Wacamaw river. It is several miles south of Inlet Square Mall. Let me know if you have any questions. I live in pawleys island 10 miles south of murrells inlet.

I have rode in November with no wetsuit. However, it was only because I bought a new boat at the end of October and I had to ride at least once. I was so cold, I only jumped wake to wake and I couldn't feel my legs when I got in the boat.

Cool. I will definitely have some skin with me then. Grew up NC surfing as a kid, so cold water no problem, just wanted to have an idea of what I needed. Thanks guys.
