It's a fair day out at the Wrightsville Jetty, but you know this spot always keeps you on its toes with those currents. With a rising tide and 4.3 hours until the next slack, expect those currents to be building, especially near the tip of the jetty. The cross-shore 14.9 mph wind from the SSW won't be helping matters. The estimated visibility today is 10-15 ft.
