Outer Banks: 2.24.12 - Clouds & Wind, But Feels Like Spring at Avalon Pier

Good morning. Here’s your OBX Moment of Zen for Friday, February 24, 2012.

This video was shot just south of the Avalon Pier at the 5th St. beach access at 8:30 AM.

We have clouds, a stiff wind out of the southwest at 15-20 mph, and some scattered thunderstorms on the way, but temps will hit 70 today!

Enjoy the spring-like conditions while they last. Temps will dip back to 50 for the week. But the bright sun will make a comeback.

There a knee to waist swell in the water, but the offshore wind is pretty stiff. There could be a longboard wave if you can find the right spot.

Outer Banks fishing is slow. Skate and dog fish at Jennette’s Pier and some tuna offshore.

Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

Outer Banks: 2.22.12 - Perfect Winter Day at Kitty Hawk Pier

Good morning. Here’s your OBX Moment of Zen for Wednesday, February 22, 2012.

This video was shot at the Kitty Hawk Pier at 8:30 AM.

Perfect winter weather. Warm sun, bright blue skies, light offshore wind out of the southwest at 5-10 mph, and temps in the 60′s. And this weather will stick with us the next few days. Awesome.

Swell has faded considerably from yesterday, but there is still a knee to waist wave in the water, and the offshore breeze is shaping a clean, pretty longboard wave. This wave could stick with us tomorrow too.

Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

Outer Banks: 2.20.12 - Raging Seas in Kill Devil Hills

Good morning. Here’s your OBX Moment of Zen for Monday, February 20, 2012.

This video was shot at the Hayman St. beach access in Kill Devil Hills at 8:30 AM.

Strong north wind at 20+ mph today. Wind is churning up the ocean. It’s a chilly, slow day, but the weather will improve throughout the week with temps back to the 60′s by mid week.

No surf today, but the raging seas should turn into clean, head high surf tomorrow when the wind slows down and switches offshore – 5 mph out of the southwest tomorrow. Wax up the board.

Fishing is slow. Skate and dog fish at Jenette’s Pier and tuna offshore.

Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

OBX Moment of Zen: 2.17.12 – Clouds, Fog & Wind

Outer Banks: 2.17.12 - Great Start at Nags Head Pier

Good morning. Here’s your Outer Banks Moment of Zen for Friday, February 17, 2012.

This video was shot just south of the Nags Head Pier at the Bladen St. beach access at 9:15 AM.

Clouds, fog, and a stiff northeast wind today. Temps in the 50′s. Sun should make an appearance this afternoon and stick around for tomorrow. Looks like we could have a strong storm moving through on Sunday with rain and wind.

The good news about the storm on Sunday is that it will create some big swell in the head high range. The surf will be messy with the storm, but it looks like the surf could clean up on Tuesday when the wind switches offshore. Fingers crossed.

Fishing is slow. Skate and dog fish at Jennette’s Pier and tuna offshore.

Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

Outer Banks: 2.6.12 - Pretty in Kitty Hawk

Good morning. Here’s your OBX Moment of Zen for Monday, February 6, 2012.

This video was shot at the Kitty Hawk Bath house at 8:30 AM.

Pretty day. Sun, 50′s, light wind. Maybe a couple spots of rain, but this weather should stick with us all week.

Some swell in the area, but the surf is messy this morning. The wind is northeast to start, but will be moving around throughout the day. So there is a chance the surf could clean up a bit. The rest of the week looks flat; maybe a longboard wave on Friday.

Fishing is slow. Good tuna catches offshore.

Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

Good morning. Here’s your OBX Moment of Zen for Friday, February 3, 2012.

Happy Friday! The fresh salt air smells great this morning, but we have a stuff northeast wind sending the freshness our way. Chilly compared to the last few days; sun, 50, and a 15 mph wind off the ocean. Back up near 60 tomorrow.

Lots of wind swell churning up the water, but no surf. If you’re itching to get in the water, there could be a tiny longboard wave tomorrow.

Fishing is slow. Bright spot is the tuna offshore.

Hope to see you soon. Have fun!
