Hatteras Windsurfing Launches - Cape Point

Advanced to Expert

Cape Point is that elbow of land that sticks so far out into the Atlantic. To get here requires a 4WD vehicle and then it can be a challenge. Take the road to the campground in Buxton and follow the signs but go past the campground and take beach ramp 44 straight out to the beach.

Three sites here:

The Pond - lies to the right of the access road. Good flat water speed sailing on winds from any direction, but S is best. At one point it was roped off for bird breeding so access here may be seasonal or subject to change.

Northside - launch point is about ¼ mile north of Cape Hatteras. Sailing best on S, and SW winds but N, NE is OK. Watch out for shoals offshore, strong currents, and fishermen.

Southside Cove - launch ¼ mile west of the Point. Sailing best on E, and SE winds, but W, and NW can be OK. Usually good wave riding.
