Corolla, NC:

The story today is the wind that is tearing down the beach at 20 mph+. You can tell from the pictures that the ocean surface is trashed. Obviously swell direction is out of the ENE and you would probably find a side-shore current moving north to south. We height is around waist high. I took these pictures right at high tide. Today is just not a day you want to go surfing: NOTE: PLEASE VOTE!

This is the 2nd day of solid surf! But we still need the tide to drop.Wave height at high tide is waist high with an off-shore wind. If The wind stays off shore, once the tide drops wave height should be around waist high. Great air and water temps….go surfing!

Cape Hatteras, NC:

Small north swell left from yesterday afternoons NE wind

Corolla, NC:

The off-shore wind has been blowing for 2 days. This is leaving us with ankle slapper to knee cap tide dependent surf. Our water temps are still in the 60’s and air temp should hit about 65 degrees before the day is out. Just wait for the tide to drop, check your favorite sand bar and get your longboard.

Today’s conditions are slight improvement over yesterday. The wind has turned slightly and is now blowing out of the Southeast at 13 mph. This is a straight on-shore wind which is an improvement over a side-shore. But wave height is only knee-cap to thigh high. The weather forecast is for mild temps this weekend. Today’s recommendation: wait for the tide to drop and see if your favorite sandbar might give up a longboard wave in the mid-morning: NOTE: QUEEN ANNE’S REVENGE IS PLAYING AT SUNDOGS THIS FRIDAY.
