Hatteras Island Forecast
Tim Kent •Today
Weak surf in the shin-knee high range for most. Cleanest in the morning with sideshore PM winds.
Dawn-Midday: Minimal surf up to knee high for most, perhaps a few thigh high drifty rights down in Buxton. Most spots will struggle to offer much rideable surf on the higher tide early. Conditions are favorable for Rodanthe/Pea Island, just not much surf.
Afternoon Outlook: More small surf with more southerly texture mid to late afternoon.
