Outer Banks: 1.19.12 - Pretty but Chilly at Kitty Hawk Pier
Good morning. Here’s your Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing report for Thursday, January 19, 2012.
This video was shot just south of the Kitty Hawk Pier at 9:00 AM.
It’s a pretty day. Bright sun and blue skies, but the temps have dipped down to the 40′s and a northeast wind is adding some wind chill. The good news is the temps will warm up for the weekend. We may see a little rain, but will be back to the 60′s for the weekend.
No surf to report this morning. Decent waist to chest swell, but the onshore wind isn’t helping. The good news is the wind should switch to the southwest after lunch, so there could be some clean waves this afternoon. Looking ahead, not much surf this weekend.
OBX fishing is still relatively slow. Still crossing our fingers for a good striper bite soon. However, we have had good reports of blue fin tuna out of Oregon Inlet all week.
Hope to see you soon. Have fun!
