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: 2.23.12 - Gorgeous Day at Jennette's Pier

Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Thursday, February 23, 2012.

This video was shot at Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head at 9:15 AM.

Perfect OBX weather. Feels like spring. Warm sun, blue skies, light offshore breeze out of the southwest at 5-10 mph, and temps in the upper 60′s. Doesn’t get much better than this.

This weather will stick around for tomorrow, and then the temps will dip to the 50′s for the weekend, and the sun will stay with us.

There’s a pretty little longboard wave out there today. Knee high for the most part with some sets hitting the waist. The longboard wave should stick with us tomorrow too.

OBX fishing is slow. Dog fish and skate at Jennette’s Pier and tuna offshore.

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.

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

Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report: 2.21.12 – Sun & Surf

Outer Banks: 2.21.12 - Sun & Surf in Kitty Hawk

Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Tuesday, February 21, 2012.

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

The great OBX weather is back. The storm system that brought heavy winds has moved off, and we have bright sun, blue skies, a light breeze and temps in the 50′s today. Looking ahead, the sun will stick around, and temps will climb to the 60′s for the next few days. Great week on the beach.

Good surf to report as well. Those heavy winds churned up a lot of waves, so we have good swell in the water. The wind is light, but it is still out of the east this morning. The good news is that the wind will swing offshore and hit us from the southwest around lunch today. So, hopefully we’ll see clean, head high surf this afternoon. The swell will fade through the day, but there could be a leftover longboard wave tomorrow morning with the wind still light out of the southwest.

OBX fishing is still slow. Skate and dig fish at Jennette’s Pier and tuna offshore.

Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

OBX Moment of Zen: 2.20.12 – Raging Seas

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

Posted on February 17, 2012

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 Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report: 2.16.12 – Cloudy & Mild

Outer Banks: 2.16.12 - Clouds in Kitty Hawk

Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks, Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Thursday, February 16, 2012.

This video was shot at the Kitty Hawk Bath House at 9:00 AM.

Mild day with temps in the upper 50′s and a light onshore breeze binging in fresh salt air. Unfortunately, the clouds have rolled in, and we should see some rain showers this afternoon.

Looking ahead, the sun should be back heading into the weekend and temps will stuck in the 50′s.

No surf to report. The flat week continues. The swell will start to build heading into the weekend, but the wind won’t match up to clean the waves. Looks like early next week we could see some good surf. Chest to head high clean waves Tuesday?

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

Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report: 2.14.12 – Happy Valentine’s Day!

Outer Banks: 2.14.12 - Valentine's Day in Kitty Hawk

Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Tuesday, February 14, 2012.

This video was shot at the Lillian St. beach access in Kitty Hawk at 9:00 AM.

Happy Valentine’s Day. Much love from your friends in the OBX.

Clouds, 50, and a light offshore breeze out of the southwest at 5 mph today. It feels nice to have the temps climb back up after a couple chilly days. We should hit 60 by Thursday. A couple spots of rain this week, but for the most part it’s a great week if weather at the beach.

No surf to report. I love walking out to great surf rolling in, but there’s something very cool about an ocean that is completely flat. And today is completely flat. Couldn’t get much more flat. No swell over the next few days.

The ocean may be flat, but it was active with dolphin this morning, and I even caught a quick glimpse of a whale cruising by.

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

Hope to see you soon. Have fun!
