Welcome to Orion Weather
Check out our new surf reports and forecasts for Atlantic Beach (courtesy of MagicSeaWeed) and Cape Lookout (courtesy of Swellinfo). Just click on 'wave & surf report' in the main menu!We have also added MyHurricane, which is an advanced, full-screen hurricane tracking software platform built on open web standards from MyHurricane.net. MyHurricane includes current as well as historical storms.
Orion weather was started in 2004 as an outlet for my interest in the weather, particularly tropical storms and hurricanes. It moved to the current server in 2006. Enjoy your visit and have a safe 2011 hurricane season! Please see disclaimer below.
