Coastguard/St Simons surf guide

Coastguard/St Simons is a surf spot located in the East Beach area of St. Simons Island. This spot has seen some changes over the years, especially with local beach replenishment projects. Recently, sand has started to return, allowing the waves to break again. It's a popular place for locals and visitors looking to catch some waves, and while it's not the most consistent spot, it’s often a better option compared to the breaks further south.

The surf offers left and right beach breaks that work best at high tide. The ideal swell directions to watch for are from the Northeast and Southeast, and it handles swell sizes of about 2 ft (0.6 m) well. On a good day, you can expect some fun rides, especially when the wind is coming from the Northwest. The sandy bottom makes for a forgiving landing if you wipe out, but it’s always best to check conditions before you head out.

Thanks to the large parking area nearby, getting to Coastguard/St Simons is pretty convenient. While this spot may not match the consistency of places like Goulds Inlet, the waves can still offer a decent session, especially when the conditions align. So if you're around and looking for a place to surf, it might be worth a look.
