Local Knowledge & Surf Guide
Local Knowledge
The Lighthouse in North Carolina is an exposed beach and jetty break known for its dependable surf that can work year-round. It performs best when northeast swells combine with offshore winds from the west, producing a mix of left and right-hand waves. The break responds well to both groundswells and windswells and is most favorable around low tide as it begins to rise. While it’s a popular spot and often crowded during good conditions, it remains a go-to location for consistent waves. Surfers should be cautious of rip currents, submerged obstacles, sharks, and the occasional wreck. The best window for clean, rideable surf is typically in spring, with March offering the most reliable conditions.
