Surfers and beach lovers, gather round! We've got a seasonal wrap-up that might leave you feeling a bit chilly, but don't worry - we've got the inside scoop.

The National Weather Service in Newport/Morehead City has officially called time on the Surf Zone Forecast for 2024. From the Northern Outer Banks - think Duck, Kitty Hawk, and the legendary Nags Head - to the dramatic shores of Hatteras Island and the secluded beaches of Ocracoke, the surf forecast season is taking a well-deserved winter break.

But hold up, water warriors! This doesn't mean you're completely in the dark. While the detailed surf zone reports are hibernating until spring 2025, you can still catch vital maritime intel. The RDUTIDMHX product is your new best friend for tide and water temperature information.

Whether you're a hardcore surfer dreaming of Cape Hatteras swells, a beach wanderer exploring Shackleford Banks, or a casual observer of Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle waters, your maritime connection isn't severed - it's just taking a seasonal pause.

From the windswept shores of the Outer Banks to the pristine coastlines of Carteret and Onslow Counties, marine enthusiasts can stay informed through alternative channels. So wax down your board, check those alternative sources, and start dreaming of spring's return.

Stay salty, stay prepared, and see you when the waves call us back!
