Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert

Type: Lagoon

Water type: Shallow, Flat, Chop

Water hazards: Swimmers, None

Water quality: Clean

Infos: Flat to small chop. The Pamlico Sound is a huge waist deep water area.

Beach type & size: Grass, Sand - Small

Infos: Caution: Do not set up your kite in the grassy area. There are picker plants in the grass now (not sure if they are there all year round) that might puncture bladders and tear kite fabric, need to set up on the beach which is small and sometimes gets real crowded with kites. I saw one kite today get punctured and another get a tear.

Identified hazards: Bystanders

Beachgoer: June, July, August

Weather specificities: Season from March to November. Year-round possible if you ride on the warmer SW winds with warm water currents. Wetsuits needed beginning and end of the year, just shorts from late spring to early fall. Warm gulf-stream ocean currents keep air and water temperatures warm nearly year-round.

Wind type: Thermal, Frontal

Wind specificities: The winds are gustier here. Good for downwinders to The Slick. To get to The Slick you need SW or W winds. SW is the predominant direction anyway. The beach works in these directions: SW, W, NW, N and NE. In June and July 90% wind from SW. Starts at 3pm, strongest at 7pm and lasts until sunset. In August and September the wind is not consistent. In October and November 70% wind. In December to February windy almost daily. In March to May frontals and winds from SW, NW and NE. Main directions: NE and SW.

Best months: January, February, June, July, October, November, December

Access description: by Car - Easiest is a rental car. Follow the signs to the Outer Banks from Norfolk (route 168S and then 158S). Then take route 12 south all the way down and get to Salvo and find the Salvo Day Use Area.

Specific rules: None

Extra: .

Nightlife: No nightlife.
