North S-Turns-Early fall brings strong winds as the air masses battle out over the open waters along the banks. As a frontal system approaches, we often get a strong southerly flow up from the open ocean south of Cape Hatteras. Sometimes we get lucky and get a sweeping south swell with the gentle 40 mph off shore winds. North S-Turns has the right beach angle to make it happen. Photo: Mickey McCarthy.
Fall and late autumn can be a magic time in the Outer Banks. Crowds thin out, and swells fill in. This fall was no different as we’ve had a nice run of surf. Nothing huge, but it’s been very consistent! Here are some shots of the crew during one of our favorite seasons.
