Small E swell running 2-3ft at 7 seconds is building across the Outer Banks, with spots like Avalon Pier, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head all sitting at ★1.5 — messy but surfable with NNE winds pushing cross-onshore. Avon Pier and Kitty Hawk have slightly cleaner cross winds if you want to be picky about it. Swell continues filling in over the next 24 hours, so expect incremental improvement, though the wind direction will be the deciding factor on quality through the weekend.
