Hatteras Island Forecast
Tim Kent •Today
Stronger southerly windswell with strong SSW winds. Fun sized surf but mostly sideshore conditions.
Afternoon Outlook: Shot of southerly windswell continues to offer more substantial surf early afternoon. Largest and choppy for the Frisco zone. Smaller and sideshore surf wrapping into the Avon-Buxton zone around chest high or so. Spots further north remain pretty small, around knee-thigh-waist high. Might be worth the effort for a few drifty rights in the southern part of the island, but it is not great looking.
