Detailed Surf Report: Kill Devil Hills

Posted in: Kill Devil Hills Surf Report, Surf Report

Tides: High 4:58 am / Low 11:06 am / High 5:29 pm

Brent here with your Kill Devil Hills afternoon surf report. The surf is still in the knee-thigh+ high range with the occasional waist+ high set. Winds are out of the SSW and creating a little surface texture but overall, it’s clean. It’s definitely rideable in town but the further South you drive today, the larger the surf will be so check our Rodanthe / Avon / Buxton pages for the detailed reports. We are approaching high tide so find a sandbar that works and you should be able to find rideable surf. Weather: Showers and thunderstorms likely this afternoon. Highs in the upper 70s. Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent. Thanks for checking obxsurfinfo.com!

Hey guys, This is Curtis, down here in Buxton with your Wednesday morning surf report. The swell is out of the S. In the chest to head high range. Bigger set are coming through. The wind is out of the SW at around 5 to 10 mph. The surf is pretty clean, mostly closing out but there is that lonely peak that would make it all worth it.

The 1st Annual Cape Hatteras Music Festival, Saturday, May 5 (Fundraiser for Beach Access)

Posted in: Uncategorized

Mark your calendars and head to Buxton to show your support! The First Annual Cape Hatteras Music Festival is being organized by the Cape Hatteras Music Guild to benefit the Cape Hatteras Access Preservation Alliance in its legal fight against the National Park Service and its off-road vehicle management plan and final rule. The idea all started with a few local musicians sitting around talking about beach access. They decided it was time that the community of musical artists on the island did something to help, and the Cape Hatteras Music Festival was born. It starts at 1 p.m. at the Fessenden Center in Buxton, and the musicians will be jamming from 1:30 until 11 p.m. For more information, Please visit the Cape Hatteras Music Guild HERE. You can also get more information on Island Free Press’s Blog HERE.
