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.
