Myrtle Beach in November offers a temperate climate, transitioning from the heat of summer to the coolness of winter. Typical conditions include daytime high temperatures averaging in the mid-60s Fahrenheit (around 18 degrees Celsius) and nighttime lows in the mid-40s Fahrenheit (around 7 degrees Celsius). Rainfall is moderate, and while the ocean temperature cools considerably, it often remains comfortable enough for wading or short swims for those accustomed to cooler waters. This period represents a shoulder season, experiencing fewer crowds than the peak summer months.
The mild November weather presents advantages for visitors seeking a more tranquil beach experience. Opportunities for outdoor activities like golfing, hiking, and biking become more enjoyable with the lower temperatures and humidity. Historically, November has marked a shift in the local economy, transitioning from the bustling summer tourism season to a period of preparation for the holiday season. This transition often results in lower accommodation rates and more availability, creating an attractive option for budget-conscious travelers.
