Category: Cape Hatteras Weather

April 18, 2022
We had a high temperature of 68F today with a bunch of rain. Cold front moved through tonight and tomorrow it looks like a high of 63F. We have a High Surf Advisory through Tuesday evening for dangerous rip currents.

What can we say, today was a washout for fishing. Hopefully tomorrow brings better conditions so everyone can get out and fish.
