The Washout (AKA "Hollywood")
The best surfing on Folly is in the area best known as "The Washout". Experienced surfers claim this is where you can experience the best waves on the South Carolina Coast. Hurricane Hugo was responsible for The Washout. Where a block of homes once stood, the wind now blows unimpeded across the beach, through the wetlands and then to the Folly River. This wind effect is what experts claim causes the water there to "roll" so well.
