Good conditions with 1.3 ft swell energy.
Wrightsville Beach is a classic North Carolina surf town with a supportive surf community and multiple breaks. Crystal Pier offers reliable peaks for beginners, the South End catches larger swells and long rides, and Johnny Mercer's Pier dishes out stronger waves for advanced surfers. Water stays warm much of the year, and surf schools abound.
Be courteous to beginners at surf schools and obey pier rules. Give fishermen wide berth.
Insider tips from local surfers
Crystal Pier works best on small swells and mid tide. The South End loves long-period swells and offers lefts and rights. Mercer's Pier is heavier—stay clear of the pilings.
