What February feels like
February belongs to surfers in thick hooded wetsuits and to people who come out here for the light. A dusting on the dunes photographs far better than it feels, and almost nothing is open south of Nags Head.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 8 nights dip below freezing.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 49° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
