Tim Kent •Today
Chest high windswell with a window of lighter winds mid/late AM into early PM. Not great but OK.
Dawn-Midday: The windswell that came up last night is actually peaking early this AM. We have jumbledchest high range surf. Gentle NE winds at dawn producing textured/bumpy conditions. It should try to come together some for the late AM into midday window. That's when I'd plan to look at a higher tide spot.
Afternoon Outlook: Still plenty of waves linger into the afternoon but eventually we'll see SE winds pick up later in the day, adding some chop to the ocean surface. Still, worth doing.

Nags Head Pier Surf Guide
The sandbars around Nags Head Pier have been reasonably reliable over recent years, but of varying quality and location. The north side of the pier has seen the most action lately, but between the south side and Curlew Street occasionally shines when the sand is right. Given the focus of the best sand typically isn't right up against the pier (which technically you need to be 300 feet from anyway), it is possible to score a fun, lightly attended session here from time to time.
