Croatan Jetty is seeing solid swell energy with clean sets peeling in from the east. The southeast wind at around 8 mph is creating a fair sideshore breeze that’s improving, so conditions are reasonably fun though not perfectly glassy. The tide is dropping near 3.3 feet, which is less than ideal and making the surf a bit tricky to read. Still, with excellent swell height and timing, it's worth getting out for some quality waves.
