Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
Kill Devil Hills is seeing playable waves with solid shape thanks to decent swell size and clean timing. The swell direction is a bit off, so the sets aren’t perfectly lined up, but the rideable waves are there. North winds at 10 mph are steady and sideshore, adding a bit of bump but nothing too disruptive. The tide is dropping near low, keeping the wave shape tight for a beach break and making this a solid session if you don’t mind the light chop.
