Description

Cape Lookout - North Carolina Cape Lookout features a sandy beach break with both right and left-hand waves. The spot is known for its hollow, fast, and powerful surf, making it suitable for various skill levels. Accessible only by boat, surfers can reach it via a ferry from Harkers Island, followed by a short walk. This unpopulated surf destination is part of the North Carolina Park Service, offering a friendly atmosphere and ample camping opportunities. The waves can range from slow rolling longboard rides to thick, epic tropical swells, especially during hurricane season. With favorable conditions from southeast and northeast swells and northwest to west winds, Cape Lookout works at all tides. While the spot is generally empty during the week, expect a few surfers on weekends. Be cautious of rips, undertow, and the presence of sharks while enjoying this hidden gem.
