Hatteras Wave Jam 2010 week is here and set to kick off Wednesday!  Wow, what a forecast lining up!  The swell from Hurricane Igor is set to arrive late week during the event window!  14 to 15 second period with building 5 to 8 ft swell will provide some definite action for Hatteras wavesailing.  Coupled with a moderate to strong wind forecast, the action may be INTENSE, especially on Saturday when swell hits 10 ft+!  The setup looks great with mild surf conditions to start the event on Wed with a build though the weekend that will be for the expert/pros only.

All in all, Hatteras Wave Jam 2010 will deliver some excellent starter as well as intense hard core Hatteras-style wavesailing conditions!  Those here to participate and/or watch the event will be in for quite a show!  Stay tuned to the Hatteras Wave Jam web site and OBX Beach Life Forum for the final location announcements.  Final authorizations from the NPS will be determined on Monday.
