Planet Of The Apes

Planet of the Apes is a sheltered lagoon spot on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, featuring a long sandy spit separating a shallow coastal lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean. The lagoon provides protected waters ideal for beginners, with the barrier island creating natural wind acceleration and protection from ocean swell. The area shows extensive marsh systems and soft-bottom terrain typical of this coastal system. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0-45°) which provide side-shore flow parallel to the elongated lagoon. The shallow depth and calm fetch make this suitable for progression and lighter wind days. Kiters should be aware of the shallow water requiring attention to the landing zone, variable water conditions, and the road infrastructure bisecting the area. Average winds of 11.6 knots with moderate reliability (42%) suggest this works best during seasonal wind patterns. The low wave exposure (0.97m average) and rough-chop conditions indicate a lake-like environment dependent on wind-generated texture rather than ocean swell.
