The autumnal climate along South Carolina’s Grand Strand offers a unique blend of warmth and comfortable temperatures. October typically sees daily highs averaging in the low 70s (F) and lows in the 50s, with the ocean still warm enough for swimming. November ushers in cooler air, with average highs in the 60s and lows dipping into the 40s. Rainfall is generally moderate during both months.
This period represents a desirable window for visitors seeking a less crowded beach experience compared to the peak summer season. The pleasant temperatures are ideal for outdoor activities like golf, cycling, and exploring the area’s natural attractions. Historically, these months have provided a shoulder season allowing local businesses to extend their operations beyond the summer rush while offering appealing conditions for travelers seeking value and a more relaxed atmosphere.
