OBX Pic O’ the Day: Adios Heat Wave

Posted on July 26, 2011

Outer Banks: 7.26.11 - Great weather in Kitty Hawk

There is something great about a summer heat wave. Hot, humid, hazy…It feels like summer should. It slows everything, and everyone, down to that slow summer pace. The “I don’t want to move from this rocking chair” pace.

But there’s also something great about that same heat wave moving off and welcoming in more comfortable temps. That switch is on today. The oppressive heat and humidity we’ve had for the last week are gone – for now – and some very comfortable 80 degree temps have settled in.

Great beach day. Perfect temps, 80′s. Overcast to start, but the sun is on its way out. The water is warming up – 70 degrees this morning. Unfortunately, no surf, but the fish are biting.

Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

Outer Banks: 7.19.11 - Great Beach Day in Kitty Hawk

The mild temps have given way to some summer heat! Great beach day. 90′s & sun. Nice offshore wind out of the southwest. Pretty waist high surf; real clean with the offshore wind. Tight lines all around; fish are biting – dolphin, tuna, wahoo, cobia, blue fish, croaker, flounder, spot, speckled trout.
