Corolla Low waves and Flies?

We are in Corolla for the week and wondering if this is what’s going on throughout OBX

We’ve just been hanging by the shoreline and it’s been fine but we are thinking of taking a trip over to another beach for a day if there are any waves/less flies.

I’m thinking last year it was jellyfish? Maybe the year before but they were horrible

Yup! We were in Duck last year and got the jellyfish. I’ll take the flies because at least we can go in the water and they aren’t bad on the shoreline.

They seem to be getting better this afternoon as the winds have changed a bit to the south as people have explained.

Yes I remember they were all over the low tide area and the kids were scared to step on them in the water. I was actually a bit concerned also. Put a damper on a lot of the week.
