Surf?

[mallardslayer77]

Buddies and I are looking to hit up Surfside Beach this weekend for the first time this year to see if the specs will show up. The North wind all week and conditions Saturday look pretty appealing. However, I've heard that the seaweed is supposed to be thick as heck out there right now.

Need a solid...has anyone been down there this week to see what the story is with the seaweed? How's the water clarity? Any info would be much appreciated, as it's quite a hike & expense for us to get down there.

Thanks & tight lines!

Thanks Ghost. Never seen the surfhouse cameras before. I don't see a TON of seaweed as described to me...but the water looks a little dirty. Someone showed me this pic earlier today, but I don't know where it was taken.

Man, i wish I could. Call my boss for me and tell her to "just deal with it!"?

It's sandy as heck. Tomorrow's supposed to be 3'+. Sunday should be fishable, but I'd take Barham's advice and wait til Monday unless you like to hop waves.

Sure, no problem there. All I did was Google what I wanted...

nice site here. i just wanted to give my .02. every year i read, hear, see people making up every excuse for why today isnt the good day to get in the surf for trout. its to windy, to rough, seaweed, sharks, rays. and on and on and on. when the trout move into the surf they are there ALWAYS. maybe not in your specific spot but always in the surf somewhere. they dont follow the green water everywhere. i have caught trout in the surf during this time of year in EVERY condition imaginable. the green flat calm days are what the fishermen look for not the fish. granted its 100x easier to catch fish when its actually easy to fish but if you get your grind on you can locate and catch trout in almost any condition. i LOVE 2-3ft waves more than a flat slack surf. i have always done better that way. just get out there when you can and adjust your approach to catch the fish. here was wednesday evening in front of the beach house in chocolate milk with sea weed everywhere. took me about an hour of switching bars and moving around until i got on some.

i heard that, doesnt matter the what the conditions are. i like it better to when its a little rough,seem to catch more fish and better size to them. if its to rough to throw lures use live mullet. nice first post.
