Avon

Recent buoy observation

The forecast point is near Avon. Wave measurements come from Diamond Shoals offshore (41025), not this beach. Tide predictions are for Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier (8654400); they are regional reference information, not a beach-specific tide model. Shared stations do not mean identical conditions: beach orientation, sandbars, wind, and water levels vary locally.

Avon: recent buoy observation. Water temperature at buoy: 24.3 °C. Source time: Oct 1, 2026, 1:30 PM EDT. These are measurements at the named buoy, not breaking-wave heights at the beach.
