The Outer Banks is firing this morning with model estimates showing double-overhead-plus swell in the 10–14ft range at 12–13 seconds from the East — the whole stretch is rated ★4.5, with Outer Banks Fishing Pier, Kill Devil Hills, and Jennettes Pier leading the pack. North winds are running 25–35 mph cross-shore, keeping things manageable but gusty. Expect the swell to fade over the next 24–48 hours, so get it while it's still pumping — conditions will likely mellow out heading into the next couple of days.
