Jennettes Pier

About Jennettes Pier

Jennette's Pier stands as the hub of Outer Banks surfing, offering some of the most consistent sandbars on the East Coast. The concrete pier, rebuilt in 2011 after hurricane damage, creates reliable banks that work across a range of conditions. When solid northeast swell combines with light west winds, the peaks around the pier produce fast, hollow waves that rival anywhere on the Atlantic seaboard. The spot hosts the ESA Easterns every September, drawing competitive surfers from across the region. Expect crowds when it's good - this is ground zero for OBX surf culture.
