Is there an electrician in the house?

I need some help.

I want to install a 30A receptacle on the outside of my house in a weathertight box. Do I need conduit from the breaker box to the receptacle or can I just run the wire? And what size conductor do I need for that application? The wires will be exposed to the outside. The load will not exceed 30A but will vary.

Thanks
