Things to Do on the OBX for October 2st 2024

Good morning from the Outer Banks! 🌤️ For today’s "OBX Things To-Do" on October 2, 2024, Manteo will experience partly sunny skies with a high near 73°F. Winds will be from the north at 17 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph, making it feel breezy along the coast. There is also a Beach Hazards Statement in effect today from 8 AM to 8 PM due to strong rip currents, so exercise caution if you're planning to be near the water​.

Tonight, expect partly cloudy skies with a low around 68°F and winds continuing from the northeast at 14 mph. As for the ocean, the water temperature is currently around 75°F, so it’s still warm enough for a quick dip if conditions allow.

And for those counting down, there are 29 days left until Halloween! October is filled with exciting events, from haunted trails to fall festivals—perfect for planning some spooky fun along the coast.

If you’re planning a trip soon, here’s why Sunday check-ins are worth it for vacation rentals. After exploring the area, grab a bite at one of the best burger spots in the OBX or check out our guide on the best umbrella canopies for windy days to ensure you’re prepared for those gusty beach days.
