Surf Shit Pipe

Shit Pipe - Kure Beach, North Carolina Shit Pipe features a sandbar wave that breaks both right and left over a bottom of flat rocks and sand. The waves are known to be hollow, fast, and powerful, making it suitable only for experienced surfers. Access is instant with a short walk (<5 min), but caution is advised due to dangerous conditions including rips, pollution, and localism. Located just south of Carolina Beach, this spot is notorious for its unwelcoming atmosphere, especially for newcomers. While the crowd can be manageable during the week, weekends see a surge in surfers. The best conditions occur at low and mid tide with a rising tide, particularly when swells come from the northwest, west, southwest, or south. Despite its challenges, Shit Pipe can offer thrilling rides for those prepared to navigate its hazards.
