Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Avalon Pier in North Carolina is an exposed beach and jetty break with consistent surf that can work year-round. It performs best when a northeast swell combines with offshore winds from the west, producing primarily right-hand waves fueled mostly by groundswells. The break is dependable in a range of conditions, making it a popular spot—especially when the surf is good—so crowds are common. Despite the busy lineup, it remains a favorite for its reliability and wave quality. The best conditions for clean, rideable surf typically occur during the winter months, with December offering the most consistent and favorable conditions.
