Columbia St

📍 Local Knowledge

Columbia St in North Carolina is a reasonably exposed beach break with reliable surf year-round. It works best with offshore winds from the northwest and receives a mix of groundswells and windswells, with the ideal swell direction from the northeast. The beach offers both left- and right-hand waves and maintains good surf quality at all tide stages. It is a popular spot that can get crowded, so wearing a gath helmet is recommended for safety in the lineup. The best conditions occur when a northeast swell aligns with NW offshore winds, with November providing the most consistent clean surf during winter.
