what is the best place to take a surf trip on east coast

well it depends on where you're located now, how you decide to travel, and where you wanna go. need that info before anybody can help you out man. also, search the forum for previous posts. may help you out.

 

Nova Scotia, it has lots of point breaks like Rincon, quite cold though...

 

Buxton in Cape Hatteras,North Carolina has the most consistent surfable days.

 

What time of year? Driving or flying?

 

this is the correct answer

 

After driving this entire coast from key west to nova scota, this is what you want:

1. Hatteras, NC

2. Central FL (swell permitting). IF you know there will be swell in south FL, GO!!

3. Nova Scota (early fall)

 

if you want consistent surf then typhoon lagoon is your answer. Just do a drive thru style trip of the east coast. It's around 25 hrs from ny to fl. just stop along the way and hit up spots that the forecast looks favorable for. You'll find some hidden gems (especially if you have a boat)

 

Hatteras, NC

 

Outer Banks...that was easy

 

It can be cold... or warm. It can literally change from day to day... 3/2 one day, trunks the next. Average in October is in the 50s I'd say.

 

I'd love to hit up Nova Scotia, gorgeous coast line and point breaks!

 

Yea I'd say OBX, I love it at S-turns. I try to make it there once a year, you can camp out or rent a beach house.

 

Not to sound negative but its so hit or miss on the east coast, I would just focus on enjoying tim with the fam.

 

New Smyrna Beach.....for some reason they seem to always have something.....when all else is flat they get 2 feet.....when other places are waist high, they are head high. O' it's sharky, but warm and fun.

PS AVOID spring break.

PSS Maybe not with the fam, but you can surf nude just south of NSB at Playa Linda Beach.

 

the entire coast from south fl to long island is homogenous beach break so whatever lines up with the swell best. Further north their can be some pointbreaks (especially NS)

 

Outer Banks, NC.

 

Central Florida in the winter. New smyrna is so consistent, rippable and inexpensive. Stuart is also consistent, and has some reef/rock bottom just to remind you your no longer in the mid Atlantic. Plus water and air in the 60s when its frigid back home.

Rhode island has the best waves I've ever seen one the east coast (with point breaks) but its expensive and inconsistent.

Cape cod would be a nice choice, OBX as well.

 

mitchell said it. Jensen Beach and the Power Plant. Ride one side of the road and fish the other. Forecast for yesterday was perfect by the way.
