Things to Do on the OBX for September 29th 2024

Good morning from the beautiful Outer Banks! 🌤️ For today’s "OBX Things To-Do" on September 29, 2024, Manteo is enjoying partly sunny skies with a high of 83°F. There’s a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms between noon and 3 PM, so keep an eye on the skies if you’re planning outdoor activities. Winds are light at 3 to 8 mph, coming from the east. Tonight will be mostly cloudy with a low of around 71°F, and you might see some patchy fog developing after 2 AM, making it a bit tricky if you’re traveling late​.

The ocean water temperature is around 78°F, making it ideal for a refreshing dip or some light water sports. And if you’re counting down to warmer days, there are 265 days left until the first day of summer 2025!
