Surfing the Outer Banks

The Outer Banks is one of the top destinations in America for surfing enthusiasts. People come from all over the globe for a chance to ride the incredible waves of the Outer Banks.

The waves are top notch in the Outer Banks. This is due to the geographic makeup of the chain of barrier islands which form the Outer Banks. The islands stick far out into the Atlantic Ocean close to the continental shelf. Because of the many islands and their locations, waves come from all directions with hardly any decline in energy; causing some of the most awesome waves for surfing.

Surfing is fun all year round in the Outer Banks, but the best time to go would be the fall. At this time the water is still warm from the summer and tropical season is in full swing. As a result of the season and the changing weather patterns, the waves get more aggressive; providing for some of the best surfing waters around.

You can pretty much surf anywhere in the Outer Banks. Either bring your own board or rent one from the many vendors along the beaches. Be sure to follow the local rules and have a leash on your board!
