Things to Do on the OBX for October 5th 2024

Good morning from the beautiful Outer Banks! 🌞 For today’s "OBX Things To-Do" on October 5, 2024, Manteo will see mostly sunny skies with a high near 73°F. Winds are from the northeast at around 8 mph, making for a calm and pleasant day. Tonight, expect mostly cloudy skies and a low around 64°F with light winds at 3 to 5 mph—perfect for a leisurely evening stroll or bonfire by the beach​.

If you’re planning on heading to the beach, be cautious, as a Beach Hazards Statement is in effect today due to strong rip currents. Make sure to stay safe if you’re thinking about swimming or engaging in other water activities​.

The ocean water temperature is currently around 75°F, making it ideal for a quick dip if conditions allow. For those looking ahead to warmer days, there are 258 days left until the first day of summer 2025!

As you plan your day, consider the best month to visit the OBX to ensure you’re making the most of your time here. If you’re staying for the weekend, read why Sunday check-ins are worth it.

In case the weather turns, there are plenty of top rainy day activities for kids to keep the little ones entertained. And if you’re torn between visiting the Outer Banks or another popular destination, check out our guide on Outer Banks vs. Myrtle Beach.

Enjoy your day, stay safe, and make the most of the beautiful fall weather on the OBX!
