Things to Do on the OBX for October 7th 2024

Good morning from the Outer Banks! 🌞 For today’s "OBX Things To-Do" on October 7, 2024, Manteo will experience sunny skies with a high near 77°F, and a gentle northeast breeze at 9-11 mph, with gusts up to 15 mph—perfect weather for a day of beach exploration and outdoor fun​.

Tonight, expect mostly clear skies with temperatures dropping to around 65°F. Tomorrow, sunshine will continue, making it an ideal day for more coastal adventures​.

If you're planning on hitting the beach, remember that a Beach Hazards Statement is in effect until 8 PM due to strong rip currents, so exercise caution if you plan to swim or engage in water activities today​.

The ocean water temperature is holding steady at a comfortable 74°F—great for a quick dip or surf if conditions are safe. With only 161 days left until St. Patrick’s Day, it’s never too early to plan for a festive celebration here in the OBX! With local parades, green scenery, and waterfront dining, the Outer Banks makes for a unique and unforgettable St. Patrick’s Day destination.

Looking for the perfect destination comparison? Check out our guides on Outer Banks vs. Hilton Head, Outer Banks vs. Myrtle Beach, or Outer Banks vs. Virginia Beach to help you choose the best coastal getaway. If you’re up for an adventure, don’t miss exploring the beautiful Nags Head Woods or taking a day trip to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore for stunning scenery and wildlife spotting.

Enjoy your day on the Outer Banks, and stay safe out there!
