Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Friday, December 3, 2010…plus some bonus footage of great OBX surf from Wednesday afternoon.

This video was shot at 9:15 AM at the Avalon Pier in Kill Devil Hills.

It’s a chilly day. Quite a difference from Wednesday’s report. Wednesday we came pretty close to hitting the 70 degree mark (in December!), but today we’ll be lucky if we get out of the 40′s. And it should stay like this for the next few days; through the weekend and into the start of next week.

Unfortunately, there’s not much to report for OBX fishing. A few reports of trout, rockfish, and drum, but not much. Hopefully the rock will be here in full force soon.

The silver lining on an otherwise cloudy and chilly day is that the swell is sticking around. Wednesday afternoon was pretty ideal for surf. Straight off-shore winds cleaning up the head high sets coming through. A few pictures and video clips are at the end of the this video. And that swell is still with us.

Unfortunately, there is a stiff wind out of the NW today, so the surf isn’t clean right now, but there should be a good window of opportunity for clean waist to chest waves tomorrow afternoon. Probably starting at about 12 or 1 PM. It will be chilly, so getting in and out of the wetsuit could be tough, but it could be worth it for clean waist high waves.

Enjoy!
