Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
Ocracoke is seeing weak waves with a short swell hitting from the south, making for small and less powerful sets that won't push much. The tide is rising from a low height, which helps keep the sandbar a bit more playable, but the wind from the southwest is steady and holding things down with onshore chop. If you’re after anything solid, you’ll probably want to wait for better swell, but the water stays warm and the session stays consistent for light fun. Keep an eye on the tide rising toward high this evening as it could open up some better shape.
