OBX Forecast of Fri, 2013-0906pm

Looks to be mostly choppy on Saturday's arrival day but wind slackens during the afternoon and low tide is around 4pm. Worth a check and maybe a dip.











Forecast Recap:
Moderate NE windswell picked up during the day for the exposed spots in the Outer Banks and Virginia Beach. Much smaller surf was found south of Cape Hatteras.
Forecast Outlook:
2-3-4' mix of NE windswell and SE swell on tap for Saturday. Better spots see chest high ranged sets. Conditions are still bumpy with NE winds 8-13kts but onshore diminish and trend more E/ESE through the day. Cleaner/notch smaller surf for Frisco tomorrow morning. 


Best Bet: Later day as onshore flow begins to back off and swell generally gets more organized.
Worst Bet:
Early as NE winds still problematic.

The windswell that is currently in the water will fade over the next couple of days, but a new small to fun sized swell moves in and holds into early/mid next week. New front brings new windswell early next week as well.
