C Street, Wrightsville Beach surfspot characteristics

More about C Street, Wrightsville Beach surfspot

General: "C" for crowded, "C" for crammed, "C" for crazy when rideable waves arrive, C Street remains the hotbed for surfing action in Wrightsville. The waves can get good, so sometimes it's "C" for consistent -- just come prepared to share the lineup with all manner of waveriders. Tides: Low to mid tide Size: Chest high-overhead Wind: West to Northwest Swell: S, SE Bottom: Sand Paddling: Normally not bad but south swells can sometimes have some current to contend with. Spot Rating: Sand-dependent but one of the more consistent spots in the area.

Any and all -- beginners to local pros.

Parking meters are all over the place from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Other than that, it's wide open.

Storm dependent: tropical cyclones in the late summer and fall with frontal activity from late fall through winter into spring.

Crowd Factor: Definitely can get crowded, especially in the fall when UNCW students are around. Local Vibe: Can get a bit irritating due to the crowds but overall not too bad.

Normally OK but with enough rain or a hurricane it can get pretty bad.
