Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Another beautiful day. Reports of fish were slow but it was a great day to be on the beach. The high was 79 while the low was 57 with light to gentle winds. Gusts up to 12mph. Currently it’s 66, feels like 65, with ENE winds around 5mph. Tomorrow should be another nice day. Temps and winds are going to be about the same as today’s. The UV isn’t expected to get as high tomorrow but still be mindful that midday is when it’s the highest so wear sun protection or take a break in the shade.
