Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report – 3.18.11 – Warm & Sunny All Weekend

Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Friday, March 18, 2011. This video was shot at the Kitty Hawk Pier at 9:30 AM. Two days until Spring officially starts! And it is starting to feel like spring…just in time for a big weekend on the Outer Banks. Sun, blue skies and 70+ degrees today! Great weather will be with us for the weekend, sun and 60’s. Perfect timing for a great OBX events. The annual Outer Banks Taste of the Beach started yesterday, so there are four days of great culinary events, and Sunday is the 22nd Kelly’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The ocean is not very active today. There’s a light west wind today cleaning up what little swell there is, but it looks like a fun little longboard wave…probably knee to waist high. This inactivity should stick with us for the next few days. OBX fishing is going strong. There are a lot of reports of blue fin tuna catches offshore, and the big news is still the 805 pound blue fin tuna that was hauled into Oregon Inlet last weekend…new NC state record! The water is beginning to warm down south, and we are starting to get reports from Ocracoke of puppy drum catches out of the surf. Enjoy! Seaside Vacations OuterBanksVacations.com 4820 N.
