Hatteras Village has solid waves lined up from the south, but the swell feels a bit weak due to the short pulse of energy. The tide is dropping near low, which tends to open up the beach break well, making it more playable this afternoon. The southwest wind at 20 mph is steady and totally blowing out the conditions, so expect junky surf with no clean sets forming. If you don’t mind fighting the wind clutter, there are waves to work with, but it won’t be a polished session.
