Not as bad as expected and it has gotten a bit better as the day goes on. Not nice by any means but worth the trip. Some lines rolling in but a workout getting out. Have fun and be safe.
Ocean surface is still flat! The good news is that we have less wind then yesterday and mild air temps. We are at the end of February and water temps are still in the mid to high 40's. This means that the OBX should have warmer air temps this spring. By April my best guess would be in the low 50's. But at this posting we have a flat ocean as Corolla comes out of high tide.

Small and choppy. Knee to waist high at best. Should build throughout the day and overnight as winds continue from the SW. May see a small clean wave for tomorrow morning. Looking like more waves for the end of the week, We'll keep you posted.
maybe a waist high wave every now and then. you could probably longboard it. forecast for light wind today becoming south. i felt the water and my guess is that it's in the upper 50's.
