Things to Do on the OBX for October 11th 2024

Good morning from the beautiful 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 north winds blowing between 18 to 21 mph and gusts reaching up to 29 mph. Tonight, the skies will clear with a low around 57°F, and the breeze will continue, so it's a perfect evening for a cozy night out​.

A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect until 8 PM due to strong rip currents, so if you're heading to the shore, please stay cautious. The ocean water temperature is currently around 70°F, making it a bit cooler but still enjoyable for a short dip or beach stroll.

And don’t forget—the Outer Banks Seafood Festival is just 9 days away on October 19, 2024! Get ready to enjoy fresh, local seafood, live music, and fun activities for the whole family. It’s an event you won’t want to miss, celebrating the area’s rich seafood heritage at the Soundside Event Site in Nags Head. Check out more details here.
