Good morning, Outer Banks adventurers! 🌞

On this beautiful October 13, 2024, Manteo is enjoying a sunny day with highs around 76°F. A light southwest breeze will be keeping things pleasant, with gusts reaching up to 16 mph later in the day. If you're heading out for a sunset stroll tonight, expect clear skies and lows dipping to 59°F—perfect for enjoying some crisp fall air by the water​.

For those looking to dip their toes in the ocean, the water is a refreshing 73°F, making it a great day for a swim if you're up for it​. And for those counting, we are just 18 days away from Halloween—so get ready for some spooky fun coming soon!

Whether you're grabbing a bite at one of the best anniversary restaurants in the Outer Banks or checking out a local coffee shop for that fall pumpkin spice fix, there's something for everyone today in the OBX.

If pizza is calling your name, check out the best pizza spots, or cozy up with a good read from one of the best bookstores in the Outer Banks.
