Hey guys, This is Curtis down here in Buxton with a Sunday morning surf report. Rain, rain go away. This morning the surf is in the stomach to chest high range with bigger sets every once in a while. The winds were lite out of the NNE @ around 5 mph. Forecast calls for NNE @ 10 to 20. The swell is semi clean has a little surface chop. looks like there are a few good ones coming in though

This is Brent with your Superbowl Sunday afternoon report. Sloppy and choppy chest to head high building wind swell in the ocean. Looks drifty, cold and unorganized. The board of choice today is a full length couch with a side of cheese dip and chicken wings. GAME ON! Thanks for checking obxsurfinfo!

February 15, 2012 marks the day when the National Park Service’s final rule for off-road vehicles for the Cape Hatteras National Seashore becomes effective. From that point forward, we (the people who were granted free and open access to this wonderful resource), will now have to learn some new habits about beach driving and pay a hefty fee. Moreover, the 1.7 miles of beach between Ramp 49 and the Point will become a “vehicle-free” area year-round. That area just happens to be a world known spot for fishing, shelling, surfing and beach going. A place where you feel surrounded by the ocean and all that the Outer Banks is known for. If you are one of those people who have accessed this “recreational” area and don’t agree with the ruling before us, I urge you to speak out, make yourself heard, get involved… anything but just sit there.

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!

According to the Virginia-Pilot (PilotOnline.com), off-road vehicles will now have to pay a fee and watch a short educational video in order to access the Cape Hatteras beaches via 4×4. The exact fee is not yet set but some estimates are $90-150 for a yearly permit / $30-50 for a weekly permit. You can find a report on the new regulations HERE. (National Park Service Section). The good news: the beach will still be accessible. The bad news: The land that was donated for public use now comes with a price tag. For more information regarding this topic, visit PilotOnline.com

“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.
