Corolla, NC:

These pictures were taken in Ocean Hills close to high tide. Wave height is small, only knee cap high. The northern Outer Banks has a steady strong wind out of WSW blowing at 20mph +. This is keeping the sections open but also knocking down the size. If you plan to go surfing you may want the tide to go out. NOTE: WE ARE GOING TO BE OPEN THIS WEEKEND. GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP

Cape Hatteras, NC:

Very low tide, small north east swell

Corolla, NC:

Corolla had a change in weather systems last night. The wind switched from the SSW to the NNW. Wind speed is 22 mph.Wave height is about thigh high, coming out of the ENE with an outgoing tide. The wind is (at this posting), is helping to hold the sections open. But if the wind clocks around just a few degrees to the North, it could turn into a side shore wind, trashing the surf. NOTE: WE WILL BEOPEN THIS WEEKEND. GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP

Cape Hatteras, NC:

Swell never increased with the wind yesterday, wind is offshore , inconsistent and quick.

Corolla, NC:

Wave size has increased since yesterday! Corolla currently has stomach-chest high waves with a SSW wind that is holding the sections up. Th both good news is the air temp could again move into the 70 degree Fahrenheit range. I took theses pictures with an outgoing tide. I could see that with the 1-2’ increase in size, Corolla’s sandbars should be working. I would still like to see a little more well defined sand bars, but we are not even into spring. STAY POSTED: NOTE: 99.1, THE SOUND HAS INVITED ME BACK FOR THE 8:15 AM SURF REPORT STARTING THIS SPRING. GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP

Cape Hatteras, NC:

SW wind swell with a SW wind

Corolla, NC:

We seem to be dodging the winter bullet! Air temps might reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit. I took these pictures as the tide was going out. I think the breaks will become obvious within an hour. Wave height is knee-cap to thigh high. Wind direction is currently out of the ESE with a speed of 10 mph. NOTE: MARCH IS HERE, WE WILL BE OPEN FOR THE SEASON STARTING THIS WEEKEND.

Cape Hatteras, NC:

Small SE swell, light onshores

Corolla, NC:

You can tell by the pictures that I just took that Corolla has ankle slapper to knee cap high surf. We have a light wind out of the ESE and air temps might hit the low 60’s. My “guess estimation” is that the only surf might be after the tide completely drops: (2:00PM). We still have a water temp around 49 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit degrees. GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP
