Things to Do on the OBX for October 9th 2024

Good morning from the Outer Banks! 🌞 For today’s "OBX Things To-Do" on October 9, 2024, Manteo will experience partly cloudy skies throughout the day, with temperatures reaching a high near 73°F. Expect a gentle north breeze at 8 to 10 mph, keeping the day cool and comfortable for outdoor adventures. Tonight, skies will be mostly cloudy with a low around 62°F, and winds will become a bit stronger, gusting up to 20 mph​.

Be mindful that a Beach Hazards Statement is in effect until 8 PM tonight due to strong rip currents, so exercise caution if you’re planning to be near the water​.

The water temperature is a refreshing 70°F today, making it ideal for a light dip or beach walk if conditions are safe. And for those planning ahead, there are 159 days left until St. Patrick’s Day! The OBX is the perfect place to celebrate, with lively parades, green-clad festivities, and a stunning coastal backdrop.

If you're looking to make the most of your time here, consider these guides for inspiration: Discover top rainy day activities for kids, why Sunday check-ins are worth it for vacation rentals, or explore the best water activities in the OBX. And don’t forget to treat yourself to one of the best burgers in the Outer Banks!
