Croatan Jetty is holding solid energy with the swell building toward ideal size from the east. The waves have a good shape with some power behind them thanks to a very good swell angle and clean moderate winds from the east. The tide is dropping near low, which is helping keep the sets peeling nicely over this beach break. Expect a playable session with enough punch to make it worth hitting the water.
