Things to Do on the OBX for October 19th 2024

Good morning, OBX adventurers! 🌞

On this beautiful October 19, 2024, the Outer Banks is enjoying mostly sunny skies with a high of 68°F. Winds will be breezy from the northeast at 17 mph, with gusts reaching up to 25 mph—perfect for a crisp autumn day at the beach or exploring the area. Tonight, it will be partly cloudy, cooling down to around 55°F, so a light jacket will come in handy for those evening strolls​.

Water temperatures are holding steady around 70°F, making it refreshing yet tolerable for a quick dip. Just be aware of a Coastal Flood Advisory and High Surf Advisory in effect until October 20, so watch for high waves and possible coastal flooding​

The Outer Banks Seafood Festival is happening today! 🦀 It's the perfect time to indulge in the area's famous local seafood while enjoying the beautiful weather. If you're bringing your furry friend, the OBX is known for being incredibly dog-friendly.

You can enjoy adventures in places like Nags Head Woods, or stroll along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, both of which are excellent spots for nature-loving dogs. If this is your first time bringing your pet, make sure to check out our guide on bringing your dog to the OBX for helpful tips.

Whether you're comparing the Outer Banks to Myrtle Beach or just soaking in everything the OBX has to offer, today promises to be a fantastic day of coastal fun!
