Where are you from? Define anything . Yes the Outer Banks get cold. In December it will probably have lows in the 30s. The wind roughly 20 mph so it really bites through ya. The high will be in the 50s.So yeah for a North Carolinian like myself--yep it s cold. Winter weather. Though for many people, 50 would be just balmy. As for the water, it s still in the 50s. So if you are from California, it s the same temperature it would be there most of the year (excluding July and August). Fine weather for deep sea fishing. Duck isn t exactly a booming town anyway. There isn t going to be a hot club to go to or anything. It s just kinda small town OBX. I mean it s less than 500 people there.
You might get lucky and catch it during a short-lived warm spell when temps rise into the 60 s-70 s before the evil cold front rushes through and chases you indoors. Cross your fingers, and most certainly bring the winter coat.
