Bummed with North Carolina Surfing
Zooport:
I have not found good waves once in the 9 months I have been in North Carolina. I have been checking the cams for Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach Pier, the closest breaks, almost daily and have only seen ridable waves a couple of times. I expect that there is surf somewhere and I just don't know where to look.
Made the mistake of spending a couple days at Oak Island because the family wanted to go there, brought my big SUP and never got it wet; I guess the area around Oak Island is the worst for surfing. Looks like I will have to make the 8 hour drive to the Outer Banks to get some waves. I've been back to Cali a couple of times and got decent waves both trips.
The positive news is that we have bought a different house here and it backs up to some pretty good mountain bike trails, so I can ride every day straight from my backyard and I love to mountain bike. I really miss the ocean life, but my wife is really happy and that means more to me than anything....uh, I think.
Night Wing:
Are the two streaming webcams below the ones you watch for Wrightsville and Carolina Beach?

Zooport:
No, but those are nice ones. I'm using the cams on Surfline. Either way, it's flat
Dwight (DW):
Surfline is the last place anyone in Wilmington checks the surf.
The main source is http://www.wblivesurf.com/ for Wrightsville and surfchex CB pier cam looking north. Also Topsail (surfcity cam) on surfchex.

I feel ya, I'm in SC. The best wave season is late summer & fall when the tropical storms & hurricanes roll by. Otherwise, it's mostly mid tide or wind swell surfing that requires being at the beach to git sum.
