Hey beach lovers and coastal adventurers! We've got a bit of a seasonal shift happening right now along our beautiful North Carolina coastline. The Surf Zone Forecast team is officially putting their boards away and taking a well-deserved winter break.

From the Northern Outer Banks sweeping down through Hatteras Island and all the way to Ocracoke, Cape Lookout, and the beaches of Onslow County, our surf forecast experts are signing off until spring 2025. But don't worry - the ocean's story isn't over!

While we won't have detailed surf predictions for a few months, you can still stay connected to the coastal pulse. The RDUTIDMHX product will continue to serve up critical tide and water temperature information. So whether you're a hardcore surfer dreaming of spring swells or just a beach enthusiast keeping tabs on coastal conditions, you've got a lifeline to the maritime world.

This means beaches from Duck and Kitty Hawk to Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, and North Topsail will be in hibernation mode for forecasting. But the waves will keep rolling, the tides will keep turning, and the coastal magic will continue its eternal dance.

So grab a warm drink, start planning your spring surf adventures, and keep that ocean love burning bright. The surf will call you back soon enough - until then, stay stoked and stay informed!

Catch you on the flip side, wave riders!
