Ocean Conditions Rain moved across the Outer Banks today with steady precipitation around Nags Head and the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. Air temperatures held in the mid-40s with damp dock conditions and limited offshore opportunity. Weather systems like today are common in late February, keeping most boats secured at the docks while captains monitor upcoming Gulf Stream weather windows. Offshore conditions remain dependent on safe sea states before making the run to blue water. ⸻ Water Temperature Nearshore waters remain winter-cooled, while the Gulf Stream continues pushing warmer currents roughly 30–40 miles offshore. These temperature breaks and current edges are key seasonal indicators that baitfish are gathering and offshore action will quickly resume once seas settle. Late winter transitions often signal early movement toward spring fishing patterns. ⸻ Species Active Even with boats dockside today, seasonal Gulf Stream species remain active offshore: • Yellowfin Tuna • Blackfin Tuna • Wahoo • Bluefin Tuna (season dependent) • Occasional Mahi-Mahi in warmer pockets Winter fishing along the Outer Banks rewards patience — calm windows can quickly turn into productive offshore runs. ⸻ Captain Insight Rainy dock days are part of the offshore rhythm. Maintenance, tackle preparation, and watching the weather closely are all essential to successful Gulf Stream fishing. Captain Olan West keeps the West Wind fueled, maintained, and ready so when the weather breaks, the crew can move quickly toward offshore opportunities.

Conditions along the Outer Banks are cloudy and rough today — a classic February setup. While winter offshore trips depend on safe weather windows, the Gulf Stream continues flowing strong 30–40 miles out, holding warm blue water and seasonal pelagic action. This time of year, when conditions line up, anglers can expect opportunities for: • Yellowfin tuna • Blackfin tuna • Wahoo • Bluefin tuna (season dependent) Winter fishing is all about timing temperature breaks and current edges. When bait stacks up along those lines, the bite can turn on fast. The West Wind remains maintained, fueled, and ready for the next offshore window.
