C Street at Wrightsville Beach is southeastern North Carolina's surf hub — and one of the most crowded lineups on the East Coast. The beach break produces legitimately hollow, powerful waves that tube on solid S and SE swells, surprising visitors who expect mellow East Coast mush. Fall brings the best combo of swell and offshore winds, though UNCW students flood the lineup during the school year.
