Outlook |
Up slightly |

On Mon (12/10) the gale is to start accelerating to the east-northeast with northeast winds fading from 30 kts and getting little traction on the oceans surface. So some swell is to result, but fading into Tues (12/11). But a secondary low is to build off the North Fla coast on Tues (12/11) generating a solid fetch of northeast winds at 20-25 kts reaching north to the Outer Banks perhaps offering a short window for windswell production. |
