    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!

    This winter on the Outer Banks has been unseasonably warm. For people that enjoy the great outdoors, it’s been awesome. For fishermen, not so much as they are waiting for a good cold snap to help bring down the striped bass that have been hanging out in the Chesapeake Bay for the last few weeks. With this great weather, we have had some of the best sunrises/sunsets that I’ve ever experienced in January. Thank you Tammie from Ocean Watch OBX for capturing another great sunrise at Avalon Pier!

    HIGH TIDE 4:30 PM / LOW TIDE 10:00 AM

    About Time! Wind is off-shore and the swell is out of SE. Wave height is thigh to waist with faces that are almost chest high. As long as the wind stays down, this could be one of the better days in Corolla. Boards of choice: Thruster w/size, dumpster diver plus any long board (high performance or nose rider). A spring suit or surf jacket will keep you warm. NOTE: WE RENT SURF BOARDS FROM 5′ 10” TO 10”. GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP

    “Preserve Future Access to S-Turns,” is an effort from the Surfrider Foundation Outer Banks Chapter to ensure that surfers are able to continue enjoying what Surfer Magazine has claimed “one of the 100 best waves in the world”. S-Turns is located just North of Rodanthe on Hatteras Island. The S-Curves/S-Turns area has a deepwater trench offshore that causes the waves to have a bit more energy in comparison to neighboring beach breaks and is one of the most powerful waves on the East Coast. For many surfers, this is the main, if not only reason they decide to travel as far South as Rodanthe to score great surf. Now with the recent damage done from Hurricane Irene, there is the potential to have a permanent bridge built that might restrict all access to this coveted surf spot.  To ensure that the Department of Transportation takes into consideration the opinions of  surfers and beach goers alike, please take a brief moment to make yourself heard on this online petition: Click HERE: “Preserve Future Access to S-Turns”. Please consider signing soon as the deadline is January 20.
