Stormy head high swell this morning. Pretty messy with poor shape. A few good shoulders if you can get to them. Strong SSW wind at 27 with plenty of drift.

Looks like waist to occasional chest high waves this morning. Surface is a little bumpy and waves are a bit crumbly. Steady NE wind.


This is a moon picture from last night. So beautiful! ❤️ #villagecraftsmenocracoke #visitocracokenc #visitnc

I never get tired of hearing about this event…Unfortunately, none of the bags of Doritos washed up on Ocracoke.

The end of another perfect Ocracoke day.


Coffee on the porch during a summer rain shower with blue sky in the background…I think this will be a good day!

Looks a little sloppy this morning. Swell is waist to chest high and a little ragged. Stiff SW wind and a bit drifty.
