Kitty Hawk is seeing playable waves with solid size and energy, but the swell direction isn’t ideal, so expect some uneven sets.

The tide is dropping around mid-level which tends to make the beach break a bit tricky but still rideable. Overall, it’s worth getting out if you want consistent surf in cleaner conditions tonight.
