Things to Do on the OBX for September 10th 2024

🌞 Good morning, OBX visitors! It's Tuesday, September 10, 2024, and we’ve got another fantastic day ahead.

The weather will be sunny with a high near 80°F, and a light northeast breeze at around 9 to 11 mph—perfect for outdoor adventures. If you're planning to hit the beach, the water temperature is a warm 81°F, making it ideal for a swim or paddleboarding.

Today's tides are favorable for any ocean activities with a high tide at 12:35 PM and low tide at 7:04 PM. The gentle surf with seas around 3 feet will also make for a calm and enjoyable day on the water.

September is truly one of the best months to visit the Outer Banks. The summer crowds have thinned, the weather is still warm, and you can experience the beauty of the OBX at a more leisurely pace.

Whether you're indulging in some of the best pizza spots on the OBX, discovering local favorites like the best burgers, or looking for a great place to stay with our guide to the best hotels, there's always something exciting to do in this coastal paradise.

Make the most of this beautiful September day and explore all that the Outer Banks has to offer! 🌊
