Things to Do on the OBX for October 24th 2024

Good morning, OBX adventurers! 🌞

Today, October 24, 2024, is bringing bright skies with a high near 66°F in Manteo, and tonight will stay clear with lows around 57°F. With a light breeze coming from the southwest, it’s a wonderful day to enjoy the fall air. However, if you’re planning to hit the beach, please be cautious as there’s a Beach Hazards Statement in effect until 8:00 PM due to potential strong currents and high surf​.

The water temperature remains comfortable, perfect for anyone still brave enough for a late-season swim. As the end of the year draws near with only 69 days until 2025, now is the perfect time to start planning your 2025 Outer Banks getaway. Fall in OBX offers quieter beaches, beautiful weather, and fantastic deals, making it one of the best months to visit the OBX. If you're considering a rental, a Sunday check-in can help you avoid the weekend rush for a smoother start to your vacation.

Families, too, will find a lot to love. From exciting outdoor excursions to rainy-day activities, there’s always something to do no matter the weather. And for beach lovers, don’t forget to bring the best wind-friendly umbrella for your seaside adventures.

Enjoy the day and start dreaming of your next OBX escape!
