We're looking at partly sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the upper 70s and low 80s. The Southwest winds are going to be pumping at 10 to 15 miles per hour, creating some sweet surf action.
Surf height varies depending on where you're hanging, but expect waves ranging from 1 to 4 feet. Northern Outer Banks will see smaller 1 to 2 foot swells, while Hatteras Island and Ocracoke will have more exciting 2 to 4 foot waves.
Rip current risk is mostly moderate today south of Cape Hatteras, so ocean lovers need to stay alert. Water temperatures are sitting comfortably in the lower 70s - perfect for swimming and cooling off.
UV index is cranked up to very high, so sunscreen is absolutely non-negotiable. Throw on that SPF 50 and protect your skin while you're catching rays and waves.
There's a slight chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, but nothing that should completely crash your beach party. Just keep an eye on those skies and be ready to pack up if things start looking stormy.
Sunday's looking even better - mostly sunny, slightly calmer winds, and continued beautiful beach weather. Temperatures will climb to around 80 with west winds keeping things comfortable.
So grab your board, your sunscreen, and your beach attitude - the North Carolina coast is calling your name! Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy those waves.
