Virginia Beach / OBX Corolla


From my finite perspective in Corolla, it looks like we dodged a bullet. Wave height is about 12 feet with a storm force wind blowing off shore. But from my street in Corolla, we do not have any beach erosion and the tide is all the way out. But we still have wind speed of 50 to 65+ w/gusts. I would wait before entering the water: rip currents, high winds and no swimming flags will be posted. GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP 1:30 PM UPDATE: BEACHES ARE RED FLAGGED. SURF IS DOUBLE OVERHEAD WITH A VERY STRONG OFF SHORE WIND BUT COROLLA IS DOING JUST FINE.
