Murrells Inlet Water Temperature
A protected tidal creek system behind the Grand Strand, Murrells Inlet is structure fishing rather than surf fishing. Flounder stack on the channel drops, redfish push into the spartina grass on a flood tide, and speckled trout hold in the deeper holes through fall and into winter.
Water Temperature
falling — direction matters as much as the number
Interpolated between 2 coastal sensors — nearest is Springmaid Pier SC, 10.2 mi away. Not measured at Murrells Inlet.
Temperature Lines
None of the tracked lines — 55°, 62°, 68°, 72° — cross the coast near here right now. In midsummer the whole coast is past 72°, and in deep winter it is all below 55°, so there is no line to point at. They reappear as the water turns.

Know when Murrells Inlet turns
We watch the water and send a note when it crosses a temperature band at this spot. A handful of times a season, never more than once a week. No catch reports, no promises about fish — just what the water did.
