Hatteras Island Forecast
Tim Kent •Today
Lingering E swell with favorable W becoming SW winds through midday. Fun chest+ high waves.
Dawn-Midday: Leftover E swell from departing low pressure continues to offer fun surf, in the chest+ high range for most this morning. Conditions are clean with W trending to SW winds through midday. Peakier shape than this past Monday, and it is super groomed out and clean. Looks really fun, try to surf.
Afternoon Outlook: Winds look to trend a bit more sideshore S/SSW into the afternoon for increasing side texture. Still manageable, but not as good as the morning.
