Hatteras Village has solid clean waves from a good northeast swell hitting within ideal directions but lacking energy due to a shorter swell interval. The tide is dropping around mid-level height, resulting in fair surf shape for this beach break. Winds are picking up out of the east, adding a bit of chop and making conditions slightly less smooth by evening. It’s still worth getting out for some playable sets before the tide drops lower.
