There’s been a whole lot of cleaning up happening over the last week since Hurricane Sandy showed her face. Oceanfront and near oceanfront homes in Kitty Hawk are still recovering and cleaning up the mess that was mostly caused by the ocean over-wash and high surf tides. The northern parts of highway 12 (the beach road) in Kitty Hawk are still blocked to traffic but seem to be clearing up slowly as the cleanup continues.

On a more positive note, the weather couldn’t be more beautiful today! The temperatures were in the low 40′s last night and they’re now in the low 60′s. The sun is shining bright and it feels like an early Fall day. The low tonight is 44 degrees.

There are reports of Puppy Drum being caught this morning from the piers. Other than that, there isn’t much else besides enjoying this November day on the beach!

Kitty Hawk Pier, Nov. 10, 2012

There’s a small wave just on the south side of the Kitty Hawk Pier. The waves are knee to thigh high with an occasional waist high wave. Conditions are semi glassy becoming less this afternoon.

OBX Moment of Zen – 10.22.12

Posted on October 22, 2012 by Seaside Vacations

Photos and video this morning were taken just off of the Martin Street beach access.

It’s another beautiful day on the OBX! The high temp today is 67 degrees, the low tonight is 59 degrees. The wind is NNW around 8 mph. It’s nice and sunny outside and currently not a cloud in sight. 0% chance of rain…couldn’t ask for a better day.

The fish are still biting! They’re catching Bluefish, Puppy Drum, Spot, Trout, Croaker and Flounder…some Red Drum were caught yesterday, but haven’t heard of any today…yet.

The waves are small and choppy, around knee high. It looks to be fairly small all week until the weekend – it’s supposed to be around head high on Sat/Sun! Let’s hope for clean conditions.

We have homes available for partial stays/long weekends! Come visit the Outer Banks during one of the best times of the year! www.OuterBanksVacations.com
