Cape Hatteras, NC:

SW wind swell, with a SW wind that isn't blowing to hard this am. Forecast to be SW 10-15, mix of sideshore and offshore.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

It is mid tide and the tide looks to low. Most of the waves are breaking to quick to ride and it has a bad cross swell running through it. I did see one that was rideable in the 15 minutes I was standing there. By the time the wave gets an end to it it is gone in most cases.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

rideable but not a good swell. The tide is to low and it's not low til 9 am. The sand bar is to narrow and long. There is a cross swell mixed in from the SW wind. Water temp around 52

Cape Hatteras, NC:

A lot of current and closeouts on the low tide this am but there is a good section to be had on the end if you are lucky enough to get it. Looks like the water has dropped close to 50. Should improve later but the wind is forecast to come up SW which would kill it.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

pretty dumpy and closed out on the lower tide this morning but rideable every now and then. Pretty cold wind this morning, cuts right through standing on the beach.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

A gray NE winter day with a rideable wave if you really have to go out.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

Last nights SW wind has put a pretty good cross swell mixed in with an east swell. Lot of closeouts this am, but every now and then there is a section if you want it.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

clean early this AM. forecast for light winds becoming SW at 10 to 15 mph later today. water temp lower to mid 50's.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

the lighthouse jetties are in the shoulder to head high range with poor to fair shape. hatteras ferry docks (first photo)in the waist to chest high range and looks more rideable even though somewhat closed out. water temp in the mid 50's. wind forecast to be N at 10 to 15 mph.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

i'll get the pictures up later this morning. pretty sloppy at the lighthouse. frisco will be the best bet. wind forecast to be N at 15 mph. water mid 50's.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

there's enough N in the wind to break up the swell at the lighthouse. frisco is much cleaner but we haven't personally seen it. wind forecast to be N at 10 to 20 mph. water temp mid 50's.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

windy on the beach today. NE wind forecast to be 15 to 20 mph. there really wasn't much to take a picture of. water mid 50's. high tide around 8 AM.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

Another day of NE wind, choppy with current and the tide is to high this am. It is rideable if you really want it.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

Not much left this am. Tide is to high, the wind is bad and forecast to get worse. Looks like a washout. I can't imagine there being much on the south side with the high tide either, but I haven't seen it.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

Leftover NE wind chop from yesterdays strong North winds.
