Emerald Isle

Headhigh says :
Overall, its not as good as Wrightsville and doesn't compare to Hatteras, but with a little wind or swell, some fun times can be had.

Atmosphere:
Headhigh says :
The crowds are mainly at the piers plus a few localized sandbars. Waves work best just prior to approaching frontal systems. Usually have hard onshores for 1-2 plus days before front and a few hours to a couple of days of glassy waves after front passes offshore. Hurricane swell usually arrives 3-5 days before the storm and can last up to a week plus.

Additional Info:
Headhigh says :
Sandbars all along the island. Most break well at low tide and depending on swell size, some good shorebreak spots on the incoming high tide.

After getting through the marine base and Jacksonville, just keep going down on 24 and eventually you'll end up at Emerald Isle.

Headhigh says :
Located at the eastern end of Bogue Banks. Parking is limited to public parking areas and some piers.
