Surfing in Ocracoke
Surfing on Ocracoke is about as pure as it gets on the Outer Banks. With 16 miles of undeveloped public beaches, our coastline is completely free of jetties or piers, so finding the perfect sandbar is part of the adventure. Surfers hop in the car, cruise the beach, and paddle out when they spot a bar that’s breaking just right. Lineups are typically small and the local crowd is friendly, creating a relaxed and welcoming surf scene. Waves are consistent throughout the year, with the best swells arriving in the fall. In the summer, the waves are often perfect for learning to surf. Plus, the water stays warm, clean, and remarkably clear. When everything comes together, it’s hard to find a better place to be.

FAQ's
Ocracoke is 16 miles of beach-break, meaning the breaks are forever changing. So there is no “go-to” spot to surf. We always recommend to those with a 4wd vehicle to drive across the airport ramp and head south towards South Point. You will spot plenty of breaks along your journey. Paddle out whenever you see the perfect break.
The go-to advice is the longer the board the easier to learn on, and easier to catch waves. For inexperienced surfers, soft-top boards are recommended. More experienced surfers can rent a longboard for days when the waves are slow and small. Short boards can be rented for days when waves are big and fast.
No experience is needed to rent our equipment, but we do ask that participants be comfortable swimmers and of moderate fitness. If you prefer to have a hands-on learning experience we recommend a surf lesson.
Reservations are recommended for daily and weekly rentals to ensure that your equipment is available to rent. However, for hourly rentals you are more than welcome to call and see what is available or walk into the shop.
You must be 18 years old to rent any equipment through Ride the Wind. If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must rent the equipment on your behalf.
