Ocracoke Island and Core Banks are serving up similar excitement with moderate rip current risks and 2 to 3 foot surf. Water temperatures are creeping into the mid 60s, making for a refreshing ocean experience.
Atlantic Beach and North Topsail Beach are matching the regional trend with moderate rip current warnings and consistent 2 to 3 foot waves. Southwest winds will keep things lively, perfect for those looking to catch some action.
Sunday looks equally stellar with mostly sunny skies, slightly calmer winds, and continued moderate surf conditions. Water temperatures are warming up, promising a delightful coastal weekend.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want?
