Columbia Street surf guide

Columbia Street is a surf spot located in Wrightsville Beach that can offer a decent day of riding for surfers, especially when the conditions align. It's a popular area that tends to attract quite a crowd, especially in the summer months. The beach has a laid-back vibe, but be prepared for the challenges of finding parking during peak season.

The waves here can handle swells from the North and South, usually working best with a NW wind. When the swell hits, you can expect rideable waves for sizes starting around 2ft (0.6 meters). Columbia Street features a beach break where the waves can break left or right, making it versatile for different surfers' preferences. All tide levels are workable, but the spot tends to perform better at low to mid and even high tide, producing powerfully hollow waves that can produce some fun rides.

During winter, access to the spot is free, but expect some parking challenges during the summer due to meters and pay lots. With the spot's consistency, you may need to deal with high crowds, so get there early if you're looking to score the best waves.
