Northern Outer Banks NC - Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head Surf Report for 05-27-2025
Surf's up, beach lovers, and we've got a stormy situation brewing along the North Carolina coastline! Today's forecast is serving up some serious wave action with high rip current risks across all our favorite coastal spots.
From the Northern Outer Banks to Ocracoke Island, surfers and swimmers need to exercise extreme caution. We're looking at surf heights ranging from 3 to 5 feet, with east winds howling around 15 to 20 miles per hour. The water temperature is sitting pretty in the upper 60s to lower 70s, but don't let that fool you - these conditions are not for the faint of heart.
Today's skies will be mostly cloudy with a chance of showers, keeping things dramatic but not quite thunderous. Temperatures will hover in the low to mid 70s, perfect for hanging out on the beach - just not in the water.
Things get even more interesting tomorrow. Expect moderate thunderstorm potential, bigger waves pushing 3 to 6 feet, and winds shifting to the south. The rip current risk remains high, so beach-goers should stay alert and stick close to lifeguard stations.
Cape Lookout and the Carteret County beaches are seeing similar conditions, with Core Banks expecting some of the most intense surf action. Shackleford Banks might get a slight break with moderate rip current risks.
Bottom line: If you're not an experienced swimmer or surfer, today and tomorrow are days to enjoy the beach from the safety of the sand. Those waves are looking mean, and the rip currents are no joke. Stay safe, stay smart, and respect the ocean's power!
