Avalon Pier is an iconic Outer Banks surf spot in the heart of Kill Devil Hills. The sand near the pier produces powerful, hollow peaks on both sides, drawing some of the region's best surfers. The crowd and localism can be intense, so this wave is for advanced riders who know pier etiquette.
High level of respect required—never paddle through the inside when someone is riding, and yield to locals.
Insider tips from local surfers

Rising tide with 2.5 ft swell energy.
