short period wind chop swell. the pics say it all

the wind is just starting to pick up from the cold front that's passing through. wind forecast to be N at 20 to 25 mph diminishing later today. another much stronger cold front is to pass through late in the day on thursday.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

not breaking on the high tide. might be some little soup to pretend ride on at low tide if the wind doesn't come up to much out of the south west.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

beautiful day, perfect conditions, no waves

Cape Hatteras, NC:

tiny stuff. beautiful day on the beach though and no one is here. wind forecast to be light all day.

the tide is too high this morning so things might improve a little as the day goes on. wind forecast to be SW at 5 to 10 mph increasing to 10 to 15 mph and then diminishing again later in the day.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

small ground swell from the north that looks like it wants to break but barely does. wind forecast to be N at 15 to 20 mph diminishing this afternoon.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

mostly shapeless NE wind swell. forecast wind is N at 5 to 10 mph but it's blowing about 10 to 15 out of the ENE. water temp yesterday was 59* but it's probably cooled down with the north wind swell.

mixed swell direction with poor to fair shape and clean conditions early. the wind is forecast to be south at 10 mph increasing to 15 to 20 mph this afternoon.

the surf is about half the size as yesterday but there's still overhead sets to be had. it looks a bit disorganized but should improve as the day goes on. wind forecast is for south at 5 mph. water temp mid 50's.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

less swell and wind since yesterday does not translate into better waves with more shape. wind forecast to be N at 5 to 10 mph switching to the NE. low tide looked like high tide. still water on the road in rodanthe but it's passable and water seeping under the dunes here in buxton. all photos from the lighthouse except the last one which is behind the motels.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

the swell has dropped some since yesterday but is still just an unorganized mess. wind forecast to be N at 15 to 20 mph. there's still lots of ocean water on highway 12 in spots. first photo from the lighthouse, second photo from the cove, both taken at low tide.
