Tim Kent •Today
Chest+ high windswell with a window of lighter winds midday into early PM. Not great but OK.
Midday: We still have chest+ high range surf at lunch. Light ENE winds offering imrpoving but still bumpy conditions. It has come together a bit since the AM, so it is looking more worthwhile than earlier. Could be worth a go as the tide continues to fill in through mid afternoon.
Afternoon Outlook: Still plenty of waves lingering into the afternoon but eventually we'll see SE winds pick up later in the day, adding some chop to the ocean surface. Not too bad, and could still be 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.
