Outer Banks: 1.12.12 - Great Winter Day in Kitty Hawk

Good morning. Here’s your Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Thursday, January 12, 2012.

This video was shot at the Lillian St. beach access in Kitty Hawk at 8:45 AM.

Beautiful winter day. Sun, 60 degrees, and fun surf. The offshore wind out of the southwest is a bit strong at 10 – 15 mph, but overall it is a gorgeous day.

Unfortunately, temps are going dip down heading into the weekend. The sun will stick around, but temps at 60 today will drop to 45 tomorrow and through the weekend.

The surf is fun today. Clean waist high sets coming through. The southwest wind is a bit strong, but a fun day to be out there. Surf should be the same tomorrow, but the drop in air temp will take some of the fun away.

Unfortunately, OBX fishing is slow. Still waiting on a good striper bite. The good news is that boats out of Oregon Inlet have been hooking up with some decent tuna over the past few days.

By the way, now is a great time to start thinking about your summer vacation. You can find out more at www.OuterBanksVacations.com.

Hope to see you soon. Have fun!
