Today

A few unrideable traces breaking around the lower tide midday. Very light texture this afternoon.

Midday: Some tiny whitewater crumbled out there with the lower tide at lunch. It is semi-clean to very lightly textured with light N winds. Looks like a great beach day, just not much surf.

Afternoon Outlook: Light varying onshore breezes in the afternoon offer decent conditions, but there won't be much surf.

Nags Head Pier Surf Guide

The sandbars around Nags Head Pier have been reasonably reliable over recent years, but of varying quality and location. The north side of the pier has seen the most action lately, but between the south side and Curlew Street occasionally shines when the sand is right. Given the focus of the best sand typically isn't right up against the pier (which technically you need to be 300 feet from anyway), it is possible to score a fun, lightly attended session here from time to time. Read more
