Ocean temperature at Myrtle Beach
Given the recent discussion about Pirateland, I thought this might be the best forum for my question. I've never been to the beaches south of NJ, where I know the water temps are best in July and Aug...

In Myrtle Beach in October the water temps are typically high 70's/low 80's down to low 70's high 60's as you approach November.
The water along our beach at Myrtle Beach Travel Park is great. You will find jellyfish that end up on the beach overnight but they are cleaned up by municipal maintenance staff. We swim in the ocean in October and never see jelly fish daytime. It's a great time for surf fishing, a lot of Blues, some Flounder, Red Drum and of course the odd shark. We usually get to see a couple 3'-4' sharks cruising the surf but they are never a real concern. My wife had one swim by her leg in knee deep water as she was looking for shells last October. They just go on their merry way.
