Surf Shackleford Banks

Shackleford Banks - North Carolina Shackleford Banks features a beach break with both right and left waves, breaking over a combination of reef and sand. This spot works best on a mid tide with a rising tide, primarily under a northeast wind and groundswell conditions. Accessible only by boat from Beaufort, surfers must prepare for a long walk (over 30 minutes) to reach the waves. The atmosphere is often uncrowded during the week, making it an ideal location for those seeking solitude. The waves here are considered some of the best on the East Coast, offering an epic surfing experience amidst the scenic backdrop of the Outer Banks.
