Conditions are slowly starting to clean up. Wave height has dropped from overhead to about head high. More importantly, wind speed has dropped which is helping surface conditions. Our best recommendation is wait a day. The forecast is for an off-shore wind within 24 to 36 hours. It is still rough surface conditions due to an side-shore ENE wind: NOTE: COMING DOWN FOR PRING BREAK? WE RENT FULL SUITS, BOOTS, GLOVES AND HOODS. GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP
Corolla currently has a strong 31 to 35 mph coming out of the ENE. That means the northern OBX is in the beginning stages of a Nor’easter. I took these pictures just north of the Corolla horse fence. Wave height is over head with a strong side shore current running to north to south. The ocean is very rough and out of control. If you are down here on the OBX, please stay out of the ocean until conditions clam down. All ocean rescue services won’t begin beach/ocean safety until Memorial Day: GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP
I got a chance to link up with Ben Gravy to chase down some surf during winter storm stella. She definitely delivered!

I took these pictures right after high tide. As you can see we have Lake Atlantic conditions. H2O and air are matching each other at 48 degrees. If there is any slim chance of catching a wave, check out a very shallow sand bar closer to low tide: NOTE: WE OFFER KITEBOARDING LESSONS!!! GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP
