Ahoy there, beach lovers and surf enthusiasts! It's time for your daily dose of wave wisdom with your surf zone forecast for the Outer Banks area brought to you by the National Weather Service. Let's dive in!

Today we've got some moderate rip currents rolling through, so stay extra cautious out there. The surf is looking like a chill 1 to 3 feet high, perfect for some laid-back sessions. No thunderstorms on the horizon, just pure sunshine vibes with a very high UV index. Expect highs around 80 with breezy east winds at 5 to 10 miles per hour.

And hey, happy Juneteenth! Tomorrow keeps the moderate rip current risk, with slightly bigger waves at 2 to 4 feet. Still no thunderstorms in sight, just mostly sunny skies for your beach day. Temperatures remain around 80 with those cool east winds cruising at around 10 mph.

For all the Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head surfers out there, tide-wise, we've got you covered. Low tide at Duck Pier is at 10:58 AM EDT with a high tide at 05:40 PM EDT.

As we move down to Hatteras Island - from Rodanthe to Cape Hatteras National Seashore - the rip current risk today stays moderate, with waves also at 2 to 3 feet high. Tomorrow, we see a shift with a high rip current risk north of Cape Hatteras, so keep your wits about you.

For those on Ocracoke Island and the East and West Carteret beaches, the story remains the same - moderate rip current risk, sunny skies, and a solid 2 to 3 feet of surf to enjoy today and a slightly bigger swell tomorrow.

Remember, folks, safety first - especially when it comes to rip currents. Check those local tide times, and always respect the power of the ocean. Ride those waves with skill and caution!
