Spot Guide
S Turns is a mellow beach break located on North Carolina's Outer Banks, featuring rolling sand-bottom waves that peel smoothly across the shore. The spot's name comes from the natural sand formations and curved wave shape that develops during mid to large swells, creating fun, forgiving conditions ideal for learning and progression. This quiet, uncrowded stretch offers consistent autumn swells combined with offshore winds that help shape the waves into clean, organized peaks.
