A chunky ESE swell is pumping 10-17 feet of swell at 12 seconds into the Outer Banks this morning, with the Hatteras spots — Avon Pier, The Point Buxton, and North Buxton — leading the pack at ★4.5 thanks to cross winds holding better shape than the cross-onshore mess further north. Wind is howling NNE at 35+ mph across the region, so expect rough, textured conditions everywhere. Swell looks to hold steady through the next day or two before gradually easing, so get yours while the energy is still here.
