The waves have been rolling as the surf competitions come to the Outer Banks. Jennette's Pier in Nags Head is the place to be in September as some of the best surfers around check out the break generated by the sandbar that builds up just south of the pier.
The WRV Outer Banks Pro just wrapped up today with Noah Schweizer from Florida taking home top prize.
The weather this year was just about perfect for the event. Bright sunshine and moderate temperatures throughout the four day event. Surf conditions were pretty good, although they today the break was pretty small.
Still it was good event with competitors from the US, Costa Rica and a number of other countries.
Coming in a couple of weeks are the ESAs, the Eastern Surf Association championship. It's weeklong competition—September 15-21, that features the best amateur surfers in on the East Coast.
The ESA is one of the largest, if not the largest, amateur surfing organization in the world. Particularly nice in the way they go about doing things, they represent just about everyone who want to ride the surf—all ages all styles.
As a consequence, the ESAs are a wonderful family affair with parents cheering on their kids, the families traveling from Maine to Florida to meet at Jennette's Pier.
Ages of the competitors range from 8 to 80 and the age range may even be a bit wider than that.
There are certainly some storms out in the Atlantic stirring things up. As it looks right now, they're going to stay offshore and send in some great conditions.
Fall is a fantastic time to visit the Outer Banks. Book your stay in a Joe Lamb, Jr. & Associates home and see for yourself why the people who live here love this time of year.
