Croatan Jetty is firing with solid SE energy hitting in the sweet spot for the summer swell window. Waves have good punch and shape with the tide dropping from mid-level, creating clean lines and a fun rhythm. Winds are fair and sideshore, easing up with mostly manageable conditions despite a chance of showers. It’s definitely worth catching some sets before the tide drops too low near the next low tide.
