Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Kitty Hawk Pier in North Carolina is an exposed beach and pier break that offers fairly consistent surf and can work year-round. It performs best when a southeast swell meets offshore winds from the west, producing both left and right-hand waves. The spot handles a balanced mix of windswells and groundswells and is not significantly affected by tidal changes, maintaining good wave quality across different tide levels. When the surf is on, it can attract a crowd, especially in peak seasons. Surfers should be cautious of rip currents, man-made hazards like buoys, and occasional shark sightings. The most favorable conditions for clean, rideable waves typically occur during summer, with July being the prime month.
