Spot Guide
Nags Head Pier is one of the OBX's most historically significant surf spots, with a lineage stretching back decades. The north side produces quicker, bowlier peaks for shortboarders while the south side delivers longer lefts favored by longboarders. NE swells provide the most consistent conditions, with December offering the highest percentage of clean rideable waves. The relaxed atmosphere is more welcoming than some of the more competitive OBX pier breaks.
