Things to Do on the OBX for October 10th 2024

Good morning from the Outer Banks! 🌞 For today’s "OBX Things To-Do" on October 10, 2024, Manteo will experience partly sunny skies with a high near 66°F. Expect breezy conditions throughout the day, with a north wind blowing at 18 to 21 mph and gusts reaching up to 29 mph. Tonight, the skies will clear up, and the temperature will drop to around 57°F, with continued gusty winds, making it a perfect evening for some stargazing if you’re up for a brisk beach walk​.

Be mindful that a Beach Hazards Statement is in effect until 8 PM today due to strong rip currents, so exercise caution if you’re near the water​. The ocean water temperature is around 70°F, making it suitable for a quick dip if conditions allow​.

And for those planning ahead, there are just 21 days left until Halloween! With fewer crowds and cool autumn breezes, the OBX transforms into a picturesque coastal destination during this festive season.

If you’re comparing coastal getaways, check out our guides on Outer Banks vs. Hilton Head, Outer Banks vs. Myrtle Beach, and Outer Banks vs. Virginia Beach to see why the OBX might be the perfect spot for your next fall escape.

Enjoy your day and stay safe out there!
