Nearest buoys
When its on S Turns is on its often compared to the classic French beaches. Top to bottom, sand dredging pits breaking practically on the beach are the go. Yep, it gets that good, but it is also the most crowded spot on the Outer Banks
S-Turns gets it's name, not from the carving action you might make in attempt to gain speed as you won't be needing to! but from the shape of the road leading to it. The break favours south swells which often arrive in the middle of summer. The north swells generally have more power but are generally more unruly. Whilst the crowding can be extreme on a good summer swell everyone tends to just get on with it and localism isn't a big deal. The option is head 5 minutes in the car north or south and you will find decent enough uncrowded waves
