Outer Banks: 7.29.11 - Great OBX Beach Weekend
Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Friday, July 29, 2011.
This video was shot at the Kitty Hawk Pier at 9:00 AM.
Happy Friday! Last report of July! Time flies.
Gorgeous OBX beach day…and weekend. Temps are climbing back to the 90′s, the sun is out, there’s a nice offshore wind bringing a cool breeze, and the water is beautiful! Water temps have climbed to the high 70′s – almost 80! – and the water is amazing clear with a gorgeous blue-green color.
Unfortunately, there is no surf to report. The ocean is about as flat as it can be. And there won’t be any surf all weekend…flat, flat, flat. Hopefully the surf will pick up a bit more next week…fingers crossed.
OBX fishing is going great though. Tight lines all around. Offshore is catching dolphin, wahoo, big eye and yellow fin tuna, and some bill fish mixed in. The piers, bridges, Sound and surf are all very consistent with a wide variety of fish – speckled trout, croaker, spot, sea mullet, blue fish, flounder, Spanish mackerel, trigger fish, cobia.
Hope to see you soon. Have fun!
