Croatan Jetty is shaping up solid with a clean ESE swell that’s packing plenty of punch and good energy. The tide is rising around 3.4 feet but isn’t really helping the sets, keeping things a bit tough. The wind is fair sideshore from the east at 7 mph, which adds a light bump but nothing too distracting. If you’re chasing some solid beach break waves, this session is workable but expect some chop as the wind trend looks to get worse.
