Cape Hatteras, NC:

What a mess! All the sand that had shaped up by the jetty from the north swell last week will be chewed up and taken away by the SE today.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

North side chest to head high, junky, choppy. Same in Frisco but waist to chest. Continued Easterly winds in the forecast

Cape Hatteras, NC:

still plenty of swell but the wind is on it and it's a bit sectiony. high tide around 7:30 this morning and the next low around 1:15 this afternoon. winds forecast to be northeast at 10 to 15 mph increasing to 15 to 20. highway 12 at s turns open to 4WD.

still a good sized swell today. high tide around 6:30 this morning with the next low around 1 this afternoon. wind forecast to be north at 10 to 15 mph. highway 12 is open at s turns to 4 wheel drive vehicles only. lots of glare today.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

highway 12 is closed north of rodanthe. high tide this morning around 6 with the next low tide around 12:30 this afternoon. lots of current and some end sections at the lighthouse. lots of doubled up close outs at frisco pier. lighter north winds today.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

Still way overhead and a mess. Slightly smaller than yesterday. I haven't been to frisco. I'm pretty sure there will sound tide on the road, through the morning anyway. Wind is supposed to drop off some this afternoon, becoming NE

Cape Hatteras, NC:

Really big swell, yesterday evening was all directions this am appears to be a full north. Breaking on the horizon. Roads are closed, overwash everywhere. Frisco is good size and clean but doubled up and closing out. About 9 am the wind just started blowing out of the north at about 15-25 and the sound tide is coming up. Yesterday afternoon in an unusual switch we were in the center and had calm winds, 70 degree temps while Wilmington and Nags Head had 50 degree temps and blowing North winds.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

we haven't had the wind that was forecast but the surf is just one big mess on both sides with the added bonus of pouring rain at the moment. wind this morning southeast around 10 to 15 mph. forecast is for north east at 10 to 15 mph. the next low tide around 9:30 this morning with high tide again around 3:30 this afternoon. picture 1 and 2 frisco pier, 3 lighthouse, all the rest behind the motels.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

a steady east wind blowing this morning at least 15 mph. it's ugly out there and will probably get uglier with the wind increasing this afternoon to northeast at 25-25 mph. the next high tide is around 2:30 this afternoon, when ocean overwash is possible up north of rodanthe.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

the tide was really low this morning and the surf rather disorganized looking. forecast for east wind at 5 to 10 mph today. i don't have much faith in it getting better today but it might be worth a peek a little later in the day.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

much smaller this morning and the tide is really low. wind is forecast to be light and variable all day. maybe things will pick up a little as the tide starts coming back in mid morning. the next high tide around 12:15 this afternoon.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

the surf up a bit from yesterday with an occassional head high set and fairly inconsistant at the lighthouse. frisco pier running mostly about waist high. light winds this morning. forecast for west wind at 5 to 10 mph. the next high tide around noon today. sorry no photos today...........

Cape Hatteras, NC:

no wind here this morning. the waves look mostly about waist high with a few bigger ones. shape is poor but may improve as the day goes on after high tide this morning around 10:15. the beach is really eaten away right now and the deep trough is between the break and the beach. there's no beach where the lifeguard stand was set up last summer (image one). wind forecast to be northeast at 5 mph all day.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

quite windy with the nnw winds today. not much showing at high tide at the lighthouse. high tide around 9:15 with the next low around 4 this afternoon. wind forecast is for north at 15 to 25 mph diminishing some this afternoon.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

considerably less swell than yesterday. a lot of water south of the first jetty...high tide around 8:30......and too much wind north of the first jetty.....wind NNW around 10 mph. the lighthouse will probably improve with a lower tide. frisco is also smaller.........waist to maybe chest high every now and then and glassy but inconsistant with a lot of closeouts. wind forecast to be NW at 5 to 10 mph increasing to 10 to 15 mph. water temp in frisco yesterday i'm guessing the upper 60's to maybe 70*.
