Good energy running up the North Carolina coast this morning off a solid ESE swell at 13 seconds, though the NE wind is keeping things choppy and cross-shore at best. Topsail Beach and Jolly Roger Pier lead the pack at ★3.0, with Avon, Hatteras, and The Point not far behind at ★2.5 — worth a look if you can find a sheltered angle. Swell is fading through the next 24 hours and the trend stays soft into the next few days, so today's your window.
