Carolina Coast Surf Alert: Moderate Rip Currents and Waves Pose Potential Risks for Beach Goers This Week


Listen Later

Surf's up, beach lovers! The National Weather Service is throwing some serious wave warnings our way for the Carolina coastline. Today's got a moderate rip current risk that'll keep things spicy until 8 PM, so surfers and swimmers better stay alert.

Expect waves dancing between 1 to 3 feet along most beaches from Pender to Georgetown. The water's sitting pretty in the low to mid 70s, perfect for cooling off during these steamy mid-80s days. South winds are cranking at 10 to 15 miles per hour, creating a moderate longshore current that'll keep things moving.

Thunderstorm potential is moderate today, so while you're soaking up that extreme UV index, keep an eye on those brewing clouds. The waterspout risk is low to moderate depending on the stretch of coastline, so beach-goers should maintain that classic Carolina coastal awareness.

Thursday looks similar but with a slight twist - slightly lower surf heights and a shift to southwest winds. The rip current risk remains moderate, so don't let your guard down. Partly sunny skies with scattered showers and a chance of thunderstorms mean you'll want to pack that quick-dry towel and maybe a light rain jacket.

The extended forecast suggests a consistent pattern of moderate rip current risks through Saturday, with surf heights hovering around 2 to 4 feet in some areas. Sunday brings some relief with a low rip current risk and slightly calmer conditions.

Bottom line: Stay safe, stay smart, and enjoy those Carolina waves! This is your surf report bringing you the latest coastal conditions.
