One of my goals in writing this blog is to help people experience that vacation sensation, of being "Lost In Hatteras," anytime, anywhere. You'll most likely find a near daily report of the day's windsurf or surf conditions, a few relevant pictures of the action, and some not-so-profound thoughts on life. Enjoy, and I hope to see you soon!

So I guess Hwy 12 is still open?? Have some buds heading out in the AM for weekend camping and surf trip at Frisco Woods. Please reply if they need to bring a dinghy.
Cheers!
Dude, that is hilarious! But I bet the hammering is still on its way!
Awesome Andy!!
Definite skunkage here today, though the Oregon Inlet meters hovered around 30 all day. Too bad it was straight onshore and pouring rain...
Mike- for now, the highway is still open, but the swell isn't forecast to really build until tomorrow...
Fingers are crossed Fish!
Bill- check out the PWA Sylt footage... We have NO EXCUSES... except for being spoiled with nice conditions 98% of the time...
Punked I was!
you do realize that i was getting all misty eyed when i saw your post... on the verge of tears opon clicking the video.
looks like you obx guys should pack up and travel inland->
Today: Rain. High near 46. Breezy, with a north wind around 23 mph, with gusts as high as 39 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.
Tonight: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a low around 45. Breezy, with a north wind between 17 and 23 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
Friday: A slight chance of rain or drizzle before noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 56. North wind between 13 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
Rig a 4.2 and a 5.8 so you'll be sure neither will work.
Hilarious! We had it good yesterday on the lake even in the driving rain.
Morning talk shows say you guys are losing all your sand dunes? I guess the hammering isn't over yet?
We are getting walloped just 200 miles North in Tidewater. 50+ knot gusts 30 knot lulls. Come and get it Friday AM that's when it might be sailable again.
hahaha you got me. Hey, i just came if from a Lewes sesh. MAXED out 3.6 conditions. FUUUUNNN

I was going to ask if dead pelicans were clogging your wind meters down there but your video explains it! Such a bizarre contrast to up north. Yesterday it came in nice and mello on the Chesapeake (Sandy Point) with fun 5.0 conditions most of the day that gradually ramped up. Glad to hear the island is still standing!
Hey, glad to hear you guys are all getting out there! At least someone's getting some breeze from this storm...
The island is still standing, but the road has overwashed up in Rodanthe, and maybe a bit in Buxton. Lots of rain has the road flooded everywhere else anyway. Surf is still building, with the buoy currently reading 11 ft at 16 seconds (HUGE). Oh, and it's still NOT windy, with the low parked directly overhead.
Intense. For how long are you goind to be block on the Island!?
Oh man that was disappointing!
