Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

First Street in Kill Devil Hills (Outer Banks) is an exposed and dependable beach-break that handles a variety of groundswells—particularly from the northeast—and offers both lefts and rights, making it a versatile choice year-round. It tends to perform best in winter, with December standing out as the peak month for clean, rideable surf under offshore (west) or cross-offshore winds, especially around rising low tides. The setting provides consistent surf faces, though crowded conditions can arise when it's up, and surfers should exercise caution due to rip currents and occasional submerged hazards like wrecks. Access is convenient via public beach ramps with seasonal lifeguard coverage, making it both accessible and safe for a wide range of surfers.
