Pelican Watch in North Carolina is an exposed beach break with consistent surf that can work year-round. It receives a mix of groundswells and windswells, with the ideal swell direction from the southeast and offshore winds from the west. The beach offers both lefts and rights, and the best surf conditions occur when southeast swells align with west winds. Summer is the most reliable season for clean, rideable waves, with July offering the most consistent conditions. The spot is often crowded, and hazards include strong rip currents and sharks.
