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.
Good morning. Here’s your Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Thursday, February 9, 2012.
This video was shot at the Sutton St. beach access in Kill Devil Hills at 8:30 AM.
Pretty day with bright sun, blue skies, and temps in the 50′s, but there is a chilly wind out of the northwest at 10-15 mph. Temps will cool to the 40′s over the weekend, but the sun will stick around. Temps will be back to the 50′s early next week.
Surf is a mess today from the NW wind, but we could see a longboard wave tomorrow. The wind will switch offshore tonight and be real light out of the southwest tomorrow morning. There could be a clean knee to waist wave to start the day tomorrow, and that wave will fade through the day.
OBX fishing is slow. Dog fish and skate at Jennette’s Pier and tuna offshore. Other than that, it’s quiet on the fishing front.
A beautiful morning has shifted to a cloudy afternoon. Thick, dark clouds are threatening to drop some moisture on our OBX day.
The dreary afternoon is sending me in search of a bright spot, and I know just the cure. A double-dose really; some awesome art from Jordan, and my one of my favorite subjects, waves.
Good morning. Here’s your Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Tuesday, February 7, 2012.
This video was shot just south of the Avalon Pier at the 5th St. beach access in Kill Devil Hills at 8:40 AM.
Pretty day. Sun & 50′s. This weather is going to stick with us all week. Although, there is a chilly wind out of the north at about 10 mph.
No surf today. A little swell, but it’s fading and this north wind isn’t cleaning it up. Looking ahead, not much surf to report. The swell will be small and the will be onshore. The wind will switch offshore on Friday, so there could be a tiny longboard wave, but nothing substantial.
Some good news for OBX fishing. This is all rumors, but I’ll pass it on anyway. A few isolated reports of flounder, puppy drum, and speckled trout in the area. Not sure where or how much. Still getting good reports of tuna offshore.
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.
Outer Banks: 2.3.12 - Fresh Salt Air & Chilly Wind in Kitty Hawk
Good morning. Here’s your OBX Moment of Zen for Friday, February 3, 2012.
This video was shot just south of the Kitty Hawk Pier at 8:30 AM.
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.
