Hatteras Light House
Edit SpotAbout
I think it's an awesome spot and they have pro contests here so you know it's a good spot.
Atmosphere:
Good atmosphere and all the local good guys surf next to the sea wall.
Additional Info:
It's a fast hollow spot, it gets pretty steep sometimes, on the weekdays if its good it's pretty crowded otherwise it's not to bad. On the weekend it's crowded too if it's good.
