Spot Guide
Rodanthe Pier produces fast, steep waves that barrel with more power than many expect from the Outer Banks. The break fires from head-high to triple overhead, with heavy sections that can genuinely tube. The area just north — S-Turns — is considered one of the best waves on the entire OBX. Far fewer crowds than the northern piers, with possible solo sessions on weekday mornings.
