Winds will be coming from the northwest at 6-9 mph, so it might feel refreshing if you're out and about.

The ocean temperature remains inviting at 73°F, ideal for those who want to take advantage of the water while it’s still warm.

And don’t forget, the Outer Banks Seafood Festival is just 2 days away on October 19, 2024—get ready for some delicious local seafood!
