Good morning. Here’s your Outer Banks Beach Report for Thursday, September 30, 2010.

Winds are howling! The wind is pretty much muting my intro to the video. You can probably make out a few of the words, but you may want to zip ahead to the 1:13 mark to take a look at the beach.

A tropical depression is moving up from the Caribbean, and the OBX is going to get hit with high winds and heavy rain today. Winds should be in the 30 MPH range. The swell is building, and the surf should be in the double overhead range today and big for the next few days. Unfortunately, the wind is not forecasted to match up with the surf.

The good news is this system should move out pretty quickly, and gorgeous fall weather should be back as early as tomorrow.

Enjoy.
