Water temperatures are creeping into the upper 60s, so you might want a light wetsuit if you're planning extended water time. The UV index is cranking up to very high, so sunscreen is your best friend today! Duck Pier will experience a low tide at 7:49 AM and a high tide at 1:55 PM.
But hold onto your beach umbrellas because Wednesday is bringing some dramatic changes! Surf heights are set to jump to 3 to 5 feet with a moderate rip current risk. Winds will shift from northeast to southeast, blowing around 20 mph in the morning and settling to about 10 mph by afternoon.
Expect a mostly cloudy morning with increasing sunshine later in the day. Scattered showers and potential thunderstorms will add some excitement to your beach plans. Temperatures will climb into the mid-70s, making for a dynamic beach day.
Hatteras Island and Ocracoke will see similar conditions, with slightly higher surf heights and a bit more wind. Cape Hatteras and surrounding beaches can expect northeast winds around 15 to 20 mph today, shifting to southeast and southwest on Wednesday.
Beach safety tip: Even with a low rip current risk, always be cautious near groins, jetties, and piers. Stay alert, stay safe, and enjoy the beautiful North Carolina coastline!

Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships.
