The buoy was reporting 21 feet at 9 secs this morning which is not very condusive for fishing.  Any time the wave height is more than double the average period you probably don't want to be there.  Needless to say everyone stayed tied to the dock today and watched the wind and rain.   The good news is the Diamond Shoals Buoy as of right now is still working even after the pounding it took last night.   The wind is suppose to fall out late tomorrow and be beautiful on Monday.
