Myrtle Beach Weather in October
Myrtle Beach weather in October is often perfect, with low humidity, sunny days, and water temperatures warm enough for invigorating swimming. And although there are arguably many months of the year that could qualify as the best time to visit Myrtle Beach, we put October in the #1 spot because it offers the best weather and temperatures, without the summer crowds and peak season prices. October is also a desirable time to visit Myrtle Beach for anyone who wants to take advantage of lower hotel rates.
What is the average temperature in Myrtle Beach in October?
The average high temperature in October in Myrtle Beach is around 77°F, with a low of 54°F. While October weather in Myrtle Beach brings cooler temperatures than the hot summer months, it’s still warm enough to enjoy outdoor activities in a short-sleeve shirt or a light jacket.
Is October a good time to visit Myrtle Beach?
Yes, October is a great time to visit Myrtle Beach, especially for a romantic weekend, friends’ trip, or fall family getaway. There are plenty of things to do in Myrtle Beach in October, plus vacationers can participate in big October events for 2025, including Fall Bike Week, Oktoberfest, Cruisin the Beach Car Show, Little River Shrimpfest, Loris Bog Off, and tons of fun Halloween festivities for adults and for families.
Is October hurricane season in Myrtle Beach?
Hurricane season in Myrtle Beach lasts from June 1 through November 30. Hurricanes may occur in October, but the peak season is typically August and September.
Can I swim in the ocean in October in Myrtle Beach?
Yes, you can swim in the ocean in October in Myrtle Beach. The water temperature averages between 72 and 76 degrees, a refreshing temperature for splashing in the waves or enjoying a swim. Book a stay at your favorite Myrtle Beach hotel or resort and take advantage of the pleasant October weather, whether you want to frolic in the sea or swim in an oceanfront pool.
What is the weather like in Myrtle Beach mid-October?
By mid-October, the weather in Myrtle Beach is shifting from summer-like into an excellent, coastal-Carolina autumn: low humidity (by South Carolina standards), days in the mid- to upper 70s, and nights in the mid-50s. Bugs are scarce, making the evenings ripe for moonlit strolls along the beach or family time on the hotel balcony or patio. If you go in early October, expect weather that’s typically still quite warm, with days that can reach 80 degrees and nights that might dip into the 60s. October is also one of Myrtle Beach’s driest months, so visitors are less likely to experience rained-out beach days.
How should I dress for Myrtle Beach in October?
Plan your October Myrtle Beach vacation wardrobe for temperatures that span from the mid-50s to the upper 70s. As a general rule, October days in Myrtle Beach are suitable for bathing suits, T-shirts, and shorts, and it’s still what we typically call “flip-flop weather.” Nights in the Grand Strand drop in temperature by at least 10 degrees, so you’ll need a light jacket, long sleeves, and long pants for the evening. Come with your swimsuit and layers, and you should be just fine.
