About OBX Beach & Weather
A beach-day weather and ocean-conditions resource built specifically for North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
Know Before You Go.
OBX Beach & Weather brings weather, beach conditions, ocean safety, surf, tides, alerts, and live information together for ten Outer Banks communities from Corolla through Hatteras Village.
Ten communities
Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, Rodanthe, Avon, Buxton, and Hatteras Village.
Beach-day focused
Conditions are organized around the information that matters when deciding when and where to head to the beach.
Independent Beach Score
The Beach Score combines multiple weather and beach factors into an editorial planning tool. It is not an official safety rating.
Website + apps
The public website and mobile apps share the same OBX Beach & Weather data platform while presenting information in formats suited to each device.
Data and safety
OBX Beach & Weather uses multiple public and commercial weather, marine, tide, ocean-safety, and observation sources. Conditions can change rapidly, so official warnings, posted beach flags, lifeguards, local authorities, and emergency management always take priority.
