Kill Devil Hills is holding playable waves with a solid feel thanks to a swell coming from the ENE. The north wind at 14 mph is steady and not too intrusive but keeps conditions from being clean. Tide is dropping around 2.3 feet and still providing decent form for this beach break. It’s shaping up as a decent spot to get wet if you’re chasing some fun sets with a bit of chunk.
