Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
Ocracoke has a solid swell from the southeast pushing decent-sized sets with enough energy to score some good rides, though the swell is still building in strength. The southwest wind is fair and sideshore, starting stronger but easing up later, so expect some bumps but not full-on chop. The tide is dropping near low, which suits the beach break well and keeps the waves shaping cleaner. Overall, it's a playable session with enough punch to get some fun turns.
