Outer Banks - Marley in Nags Head

Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Friday, February, 11, 2011.

This video was shot at the Bladen St. beach access in Nags Head, just north of the Nags Head Pier.

Great change from yesterday’s snow. The sun is out, and the temps have returned to 50′s. I took advantage of the nice weather, and took a walk on the beach with my son, Finnley, and my dog, Marley. Almost feels like spring, not quite, but it seems like spring is getting close…I heard today that the official start of spring is only 37 days away!

This nice weather should stick with us through the weekend and into next week. Temps in the 50′s, blue skies, and bright sun.

No surf to report, and judging by the forecast, we probably won’t have any decent swell until the end of next week, but surf conditions change quickly, so I’ll keep an eye on it.

Rock fish are still biting. No boats were able to get out yesterday due to the weather, but I’ve gotten reports all week of boats heading out of Oregon Inlet catching their limit of stripers, and we’re talking big guys…40 – 50 pound rock fish!

Enjoy!
