Shell Road is a public boat ramp in Georgetown County, South Carolina, on Main Creek. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Coastal waters from Little River Inlet to Murrells Inlet SC out 20 NM (Area 1 of 6) and Coastal waters from Murrells Inlet to South Santee River SC out 20 NM (Area 3 of 4).
The main water here is Coastal waters from Murrells Inlet to South Santee River SC out 20 NM (Area 3 of 4). Nearshore water is scored mostly on wind and wave height, with wave steepness and the tidal current counting too. A current running against the wind is treated as worse than either one alone. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8661947, Midway Inlet North, Pawleys Island, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.1 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
