Seaside Vacations

Tropical Storm Danny was almost a non-event on the Outer Banks.  The storm drew attention throughout the week because it’s projected path brought it precariously close to the delicate strip of barrier islands.  Luckily, Danny had some bark but lacked the bite.

The storm passed the Outer Banks on Friday evening.  Rains and winds picked up, but most of the passage was cloaked in darkness and missed by the slumbering population of residents and vacationers.  As Saturday arrived, the gorgeous Carolina skies brightened and the beaches filled up for a picture-perfect late August day on the Outer Banks.

Unfortunately, dangerous rip currents kept swimmers out of the water, but surfers were out in force.  From Hatteras through Corolla, surfers hunted for the right spot that would offer the best waves.  The surf was about 8 feet high and semi-clean, but closing out pretty quickly in most spots.  Not the perfect OBX surf day, but you really can’t beat 80 degree air, 70 degree water, and head high waves…even if they are closing out.

A new storm is developing in the tropics, but at this time it doesn’t seem to be a threat to the Outer Banks.
