Hatteras Island Forecast
Tim Kent •Today
Rideable knee-thigh+ swell mix for the big boards and groms. Light onshore winds add some ruffle.
Midday: Still just enough surf to ride on a big board, around knee-thigh+ high still at lunch. Lightly textured still with light E/ESE winds. Nice beach day, just weak surf.
Afternoon Outlook: Continued meager surf with increasing ESE breezes and textured conditions.
