Pine Knoll Shores

Pine Knoll Shores is an S-facing beach break in Carteret County, North Carolina, United States. It picks up swell from ESE to SW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 49% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
