OBX Wave Report Feb 27 — Heat, Storms, Sea Level Rise, Waves
Good waves forecast this week as two fronts are predicted to sweep through, one tonight, and one Friday. The primary driver being an easterly wind pattern pushing swells in from the stormy, Winter North Atlantic. Larger discussion of climate change related impacts to extreme weather, heat, and sea level rise. Let’s get on board for the rapid global deployment of clean energy so we can save the OBX and so many other beautiful coastlines.

Review of GroPro Hero 10
The GoPro Hero 10 produces amazing high quality action videos. However, though the Quik app is relatively easy to use, it’s management of large files can be unwieldy and slow. Overall rating 8.5/10.

Stiff Southwest Wind Feathers a Mostly Blown Out Surf
Small 1 to 1.5 foot waves break at Jennette’s Pier as the swell fights against 20-25 mph southwest winds. No GoPro shots today due to battery issues. Blustery conditions chop up the audio a bit. Will likely be back for some live surf shots tomorrow.
