The Outer Banks is one of the best places to surf on the East Coast, and many people live here and visit here specifically for the waves. The good thing about Outer Banks surfing is that with 175 miles of beaches, there’s room for everyone on the waves, groms to grandpas, hard-core locals to world-class professionals to straight-up beginners. But every wave rider, no matter their ability, needs to have info on wave conditions. That's where our OBX Surf Reports and OBX Wind Reports come in.
There’s a lot more to surfing than grabbing a board and jumping in the ocean. Even if you’ve learned the physical mechanics and etiquette of wave riding, there is still much more to learn in order to have a successful session. Wave height, wind direction, wind speed, tides, swell direction, water temperature and shifting sandbars come into play and change daily. If you don’t have the time and wherewithal to monitor all of this on your own, our OBX Surf Reports and OBX Wind Reports are exactly what you need. We’ve got the local wave-riding experts posting daily Outer Banks surf reports –so you can see whether it’s worth it to hit the waves. Whether it’s double overhead hurricane swell or light summer waves perfect for your longboard, you’ll find all the information you need in our OBX Surf Reports and OBX Wind Reports. They’ll let you know everything about the current conditions and make predictions for the week ahead, so you can know what to expect and how to prepare.

These OBX surfing reports will tell you conditions at the consistent spots like the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, S-turns and local piers, and they may even let you know about some of the newest breaks of the season.
