It’s a Swell Day to be in Nags Head

In the wake of Hurricane Florence, many residents of the Outer Banks are counting their blessings and rallying to assist our North Carolina neighbors inland and to the south. Although the damage to our area was minimal, there are numerous signs of the presence of a hurricane on our beaches. Mother ocean has been angry, with huge waves due to the passing storm. The rough hurricane swell prompted local emergency management officials to prohibit swimming in the Atlantic Ocean altogether up until Monday morning. With the swimming prohibition lifted and the waves much cleaner, local conditions are just right for experienced surfers to have some fun.
