Corolla

Recent buoy observation

The forecast point is near Corolla. Wave measurements come from Duck FRF (44056), not this beach. Tide predictions are for Duck (8651370); 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.

Corolla: recent buoy observation. Significant wave height at buoy: 0.5 m; Dominant wave period: 13 s; Water temperature at buoy: 22.6 °C. Source time: Oct 1, 2026, 1:30 PM EDT. These are measurements at the named buoy, not breaking-wave heights at the beach.
