AI Spot Summary

The Masonboro Inlet jetty is looking like a mixed bag today, with the usual surge around the rocks keeping things lively. While the W wind is keeping the surface glassy, that recent rainfall runoff is definitely clouding up the water column. The estimated visibility today is 5-10 ft, and with slack tide just minutes away, the current should be manageable for anyone planning to navigate the jetty tip.
