Hurricane Earl cruised by the Outer Banks last week, and he gave the OBX quite a scare. Packing 145 mph winds at its peak and passing only 80 miles off the coast, Earl was very difficult to predict, and he forced a mandatory evacuation of the islands for all visitors.

Luckily, his bark was worse than his bite, and the Outer Banks only saw tropical storm force winds and heavy rains. Minor damage and some flooding followed, but it could have been much worse.

As the silver lining, surf was epic. The following day, the sun was shining and the surfers were out in full force. Both before and after the storm, Earl sent monster waves that were cleaned nicely by the west winds. Near perfect OBX surf.

And near perfect weather for Labor Day weekend. Fall on the Outer Banks is in full swing...arguably the best time to be on the OBX.
