Today's looking like a stunner along the Outer Banks and Crystal Coast. Expect mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the mid-70s. Southwest winds will be dancing around 10 to 15 miles per hour, creating some playful wave action.
Heads up, water warriors - we've got a moderate rip current risk in effect from 8 AM until evening. Areas from Hatteras Island to Ocracoke and the Carteret County beaches are showing some serious surf potential with waves reaching 2 to 3 feet. Water temperatures are hovering in the mid-60s, so you might want that wetsuit.
The UV index is cranked up to very high, so slather on that sunscreen and protect yourselves, beach bums! While today looks clear, Wednesday is bringing a change of pace. Expect mostly cloudy conditions with showers likely and a chance of thunderstorms rolling through.
Tide watchers, mark your calendars. At Duck Pier, we're looking at a low tide around 9:20 AM at just 0.4 feet, climbing to a high of 2.8 feet by mid-afternoon. Cape Hatteras and Atlantic Beach will see similar tidal patterns.
Wednesday's forecast drops temperatures into the upper 60s with shifting winds and continued moderate thunderstorm potential. So pack that rain jacket alongside your beach towel.
Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy those waves, coastal adventurers!
