Good morning, this is your North Carolina surf zone forecast for Friday, June 12th and Saturday, June 13th, brought to you by the National Weather Service in Newport and Morehead City.

Let's start up north where things are looking pretty mellow. The Northern Outer Banks, from Duck down through Nags Head, is expecting surf around a foot or less today with low rip current risk. It'll be mostly sunny and hot, with highs in the upper eighties and southwesterly winds around ten miles per hour. Water temps are hovering right around seventy degrees. Saturday brings a slight bump in conditions with surf building to around two feet, still low risk, and temperatures dropping to the lower eighties with lighter northerly winds.

Moving south to Hatteras Island, we're seeing a split in the forecast. North of Cape Hatteras, expect one to two foot surf with low rip current risk, but here's where it gets interesting. South of Cape Hatteras, a Moderate Rip Current Risk is in effect from eight this morning through this evening, with a Beach Hazards Statement backing that up. Down there, look for surf building to two to three feet with a moderate chance of showers and thunderstorms mixing in. Southwesterly winds around fifteen miles per hour will be pushing things around. Saturday calms down a bit with the storms clearing out, but the moderate rip current risk stays in place south of the cape.

Over at Ocracoke Island, we've got a Beach Hazards Statement active from eight this morning through this evening. Today brings mostly sunny skies with a moderate thunderstorm chance and one to two foot surf building to two to three feet. That moderate risk for rip currents moves in by Saturday, so be extra cautious if you're heading out then. Saturday looks cleaner with just a slight chance of showers and slightly higher surf in the two to three foot range.

Down to East Carteret, which includes Cape Lookout National Seashore and Shackleford Banks, a Beach Hazards Statement is also in effect through this evening. Core Banks has low rip current risk, but Shackleford Banks is under a Moderate Rip Current Risk until this evening. Expect one to two foot surf building to two to three feet, sunny skies, and southwesterly winds at fifteen to twenty miles per hour. That moderate rip current risk sticks around Shackleford Banks on Saturday with two to three foot surf.

West Carteret, including Fort Macon, Atlantic Beach, and Emerald Isle, is dealing with a Moderate Rip Current Risk from eight this morning through this evening, backed by a Beach Hazards Statement. Today's forecast calls for one to two foot surf building to two to three feet, sunny conditions, mid-eighties for highs, and southwesterly winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour. Saturday keeps the moderate rip current risk in place with two to three foot surf, a slight temperature bump to the mid-eighties, and a moderate chance of thunderstorms moving in.

Finally, Coastal Onslow, including Hammocks Beach and North Topsail Beach, has a Moderate Rip Current Risk today from eight this morning through this evening with a Beach Hazards Statement. Look for one to two foot surf building to two to three feet and sunny skies with highs around the mid-eighties. Here's some good news though. Saturday the rip current risk drops to low, surf is around two feet, and while there's a moderate thunderstorm chance and partly sunny skies, conditions are improving compared to today. Temperatures climb to the upper eighties.

The bottom line for today across all our forecast zones: Beach Hazards Statements and Moderate Rip Current Risks are in effect at most locations south of the Northern Outer Banks from eight this morning through this evening. UV Index values are very high everywhere, so get that sunscreen on. Sunday's looking quieter overall with most areas seeing low to moderate rip current risks and improving conditions. Stay safe out there.

Good morning surfers and beach lovers. Here's your North Carolina surf zone forecast for Thursday and Friday, June 11th and 12th.

Starting with the Northern Outer Banks, including Duck, Kitty Hawk, and Nags Head, expect small conditions today with surf around one foot. Rip current risk stays low, though always stay alert near piers and jetties. It'll be a beautiful sunny day with highs in the upper 80s and light southwest winds around 10 miles per hour. The water's sitting at a cool 70 degrees. Friday brings a slight bump in action with surf building to 2 to 3 feet, still under light winds and low rip current risk. Highs Friday climb into the lower 90s.

Down in Hatteras Island, there's a Beach Hazards Statement in effect through this evening south of Cape Hatteras. Today expect mostly sunny skies with 1 to 2 feet north of the Cape and 2 to 3 feet to the south. Winds pick up a bit to around 15 miles per hour with water temps in the mid 70s. Friday is where things get interesting. North of Cape Hatteras, waves pump up to 2 to 4 feet, while south of the Cape you're looking at 4 to 5 feet with moderate rip current risk developing. That's solid swell if you're heading that direction.

Ocracoke Island also has a Beach Hazards Statement through this evening. Today you'll see varied conditions with 1 to 3 foot surf and moderate winds around 15 to 20 miles per hour. Friday transforms significantly. Expect moderate rip current risk and 3 to 5 foot waves, making it a fun day for experienced surfers comfortable with stronger currents.

Moving south to East Carteret near Cape Lookout, a Beach Hazards Statement covers the northern areas through this evening. Core Banks and Shackleford Banks stay small today at 1 to 2 feet with low rip current risk. Friday brings 3 to 4 foot waves, with high rip current risk developing at Shackleford Banks. That's a strong warning for that area.

West Carteret beaches including Fort Macon and Emerald Isle start small today, building from around 1 foot to 2 feet through the day. Friday moderates to 3 to 4 foot waves with moderate rip current risk. The Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through this evening as well.

Finally, Coastal Onslow near North Topsail Beach also has a Beach Hazards Statement active through tonight. Today brings 1 to 2 feet building to 2 to 3 feet with light to moderate winds. By Friday, expect 2 to 4 foot surf with moderate rip current risk.

The common thread across the forecast is a significant swell-up Friday with moderate rip currents developing, particularly in southern zones. Today's your day for mellower conditions and easier paddling. Both days look rain-free with plenty of sunshine and very high UV indices, so don't forget that sunscreen. Stay safe out there and respect those rip currents.

Good morning! Here's your North Carolina surf zone forecast for Wednesday and Thursday, June 10th and 11th.

Starting with the Northern Outer Banks, today looks pretty mellow with surf holding around 2 feet and a low rip current risk. It'll be mostly cloudy but that UV index is cranking at very high levels, so definitely grab the sunscreen. Water temps are hovering in the lower 60s, winds are light from the south at 10 to 15 miles per hour, and we're looking at highs in the lower 80s. Thursday brings a slight bump in the action with 2 to 3 foot waves, but keep an eye out for moderate thunderstorm potential. Water stays chilly and winds lighten up to just 5 to 10 miles per hour.

Down at Hatteras Island, today's conditions are similar with 2 to 3 foot surf on both the north and south sides of Cape Hatteras, and low rip currents across the board. But here's where things get interesting Thursday. North of the Cape, we're expecting moderate rip current risk with waves building to 2 to 4 feet. South of Cape Hatteras though, things really pick up. We're talking high rip current risk and consistent 4 foot waves. That's the spot to watch if you're chasing some action. Winds will be running around 15 miles per hour from the southwest.

Ocracoke Island is looking like a solid option, especially Thursday. Today's waves are running 1 to 3 feet with low rip risks, but come Thursday, we're forecasting around 4 foot surf with moderate rip current risk. Winds stay manageable around 15 miles per hour and skies clear out nicely.

Over at East Carteret, including Cape Lookout and Shackleford Banks, today keeps things small with 1 to 3 foot surf at Core Banks and less than a foot building to 1 or 2 feet at Shackleford. Thursday is when the swell really arrives. Core Banks step up to 3 to 4 feet with moderate rip risks, while Shackleford really goes off with 3 to 4 foot waves and high rip current danger. Winds will be a bit stronger there, running 15 to 20 miles per hour.

West Carteret, which includes Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach, starts small today at 1 foot or less building to 1 or 2 feet. Thursday though, that's your prime window. We're looking at 3 to 4 foot waves with moderate rip risks and mostly sunny skies. Pretty solid for a Thursday session.

And finally, Coastal Onslow, home to North Topsail Beach, is sitting pretty with 1 to 3 foot waves today under mostly cloudy skies. Thursday brings 2 to 4 foot surf with moderate rip current risk and mostly sunny conditions. The tide will be running pretty high there too, so plan your session accordingly.

Overall, today's your lighter day with small consistent waves and great sunshine. Save your energy for Thursday when the swell picks up significantly, especially south of Hatteras and down around the Carteret area. Stay safe out there and watch for those rip currents, particularly on Thursday.

Good morning, this is your Outer Banks surf forecast for Tuesday, June 9th through Wednesday.

Starting up north in the Northern Outer Banks including Duck, Kitty Hawk, and Nags Head, we're looking at moderate rip current conditions in effect through this evening. Surf heights today will be running two to four feet with east winds around ten miles per hour. It's going to be partly sunny with highs in the upper seventies and water temps sitting in the mid-sixties. That high UV index means sunscreen is definitely your friend out there. Things pick up a bit Wednesday as we transition to high rip current risk with higher surf around three feet. Highs climb to the mid-eighties with south winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour.

Moving down to Hatteras Island, we're seeing a split forecast. North of Cape Hatteras, expect moderate rip currents today with two to four foot surf, while south of the cape it's low risk with smaller one to two foot waves. Wednesday brings high risk rip currents north of the cape and moderate risk to the south, with surf building to around three feet in the north and two to three feet in the south.

Over at Ocracoke, today looks pretty mellow with low rip current risk and one to two foot surf. That water's a bit warmer too, sitting in the lower seventies. Wednesday sees moderate rip current risk develop with two to three foot waves as conditions transition.

Heading to the southern beaches now. Cape Lookout and Shackleford Banks stay low risk both today and Wednesday with generally small surf. Same story at West Carteret beaches around Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach, staying low risk both days with one to two foot surf today, building slightly to around two feet Wednesday.

Finally, up at North Topsail Beach in Coastal Onslow, low risk conditions persist both days with one to two foot surf today and two to three feet Wednesday.

Overall, it's a nice setup for getting in the water. No thunderstorms expected anywhere along the coast, and while the northern beaches see elevated rip current risk, especially Wednesday, the southern beaches stay pretty benign. Just watch those rips if you're heading up north, and don't forget that sunscreen because the UV index is running high across the board.

Let's start up north with the Northern Outer Banks, including the beaches of Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devils Hills, and Nags Head. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect through this evening, and for good reason. We're looking at a HIGH rip current risk today, so swimmers and surfers need to exercise extreme caution. The surf is running two to three feet with northeast winds between fifteen and twenty miles per hour. Waters are in the mid-sixties, so a wetsuit might be your friend out there. Expect partly cloudy skies with very high UV levels and highs in the mid-seventies. Looking ahead to Tuesday, conditions remain similar with that high rip current risk persisting. Surf will pick up to two to four feet with lighter east winds around ten miles per hour, and we'll warm up to the upper seventies.

Moving south to Hatteras Island, conditions vary depending on where you are. North of Cape Hatteras, we're also under a Beach Hazards Statement through this evening with a high rip current risk and two to three foot surf. South of Cape Hatteras, the rip current risk drops to moderate with smaller one to two foot waves. It'll be mostly sunny today with north winds becoming northeast and gusting to around twenty miles per hour in the afternoon. Water temperatures are around seventy degrees with highs in the upper seventies. Tuesday brings some notable changes. North of the Cape, expect three to four foot surf with that high rip current risk still in place. South of the Cape, things improve significantly as the rip current risk drops to low, and surf increases to two to three feet under partly cloudy skies with highs near eighty.

Over at Ocracoke Island, we have a moderate rip current risk in effect through this evening with one to two foot surf. It'll be mostly sunny with northwest winds becoming northeast and reaching twenty miles per hour by afternoon. Water temps are in the lower seventies with highs in the upper seventies. Tuesday looks much better with that rip current risk dropping to low, surf around two feet, partly cloudy skies, and highs near eighty degrees.

Heading down to East Carteret, which includes Cape Lookout National Seashore and Shackleford Banks, both areas are under a moderate rip current risk today. We're looking at one to two foot surf at Core Banks and Shackleford Banks. It'll be mostly sunny with west winds becoming northeast around twenty miles per hour in the afternoon.

Good morning, this is your North Carolina surf zone forecast for Sunday, June 7th through Monday, June 8th, 2026.

Starting in the north with the Northern Outer Banks, expect small waves of one to two feet today with light southwest winds around ten to fifteen miles per hour. The rip current risk is low, though as always, stay cautious around structures like piers and jetties. Water temperatures are chilly in the lower sixties, so a wetsuit might be your friend.

Good morning! Welcome to your Outer Banks surf zone forecast for Saturday and Sunday, June 6th and 7th, 2026.

Let's start up north in the Northern Outer Banks, where you're looking at one to three foot waves today with mostly sunny skies and light southwest winds around 10 miles per hour. The water's sitting in the mid 60s, so you might want to think about that wetsuit. Rip current risk is low, but stay sharp around any groins or piers just to be safe. High temperatures reaching the mid 80s, and the UV index is very high, so sunscreen is non-negotiable. Sunday's looking even nicer with two to three foot waves, mostly sunny conditions, and slightly warmer air in the upper 80s.

Down on Hatteras Island, things get more interesting. There's a Beach Hazards Statement in effect through this evening south of Cape Hatteras, where rip currents are rated high. North of the Cape, we're looking at moderate rip current risk. Both areas are seeing two to three foot waves today with that same mostly sunny weather and southwest winds around 15 miles per hour. Water temps are in the upper 60s. Sunday's a different story though, especially south of Cape Hatteras where surf heights climb to around four feet with high rip current risk still in effect. Winds pick up to around 20 miles per hour, so definitely pay attention to conditions if you're heading out.

Ocracoke Island has its own Beach Hazards Statement through this evening with high rip current risk today. Two to three foot waves, southwest winds 15 to 20 miles per hour, and water temperatures in the low 70s. Sunday, that high rip current risk continues, and you'll see surf growing to around four feet with winds staying around 20 miles per hour. These are serious conditions out there.

Moving south to East Carteret, which includes Cape Lookout National Seashore and Shackleford Banks. Core Banks are under a Beach Hazards Statement with high rip current risk and two to three foot waves. Shackleford Banks showing moderate rip current risk with smaller one to two foot waves. Sunday brings bigger swell to both areas, with three to four foot waves and high rip current risk across the board at both Core Banks and Shackleford.

West Carteret, including Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach, has a Moderate Rip Current Risk in effect through this evening. Today you're looking at one to two foot waves, moderate rip current risk, mostly sunny skies, and light southwest winds 10 to 15 miles per hour. Water's in the low 70s. Sunday things pick up with three to four foot waves still under moderate rip current risk with light winds around 15 miles per hour.

Finally, Coastal Onslow, including Hammocks Beach and North Topsail Beach, also under a Moderate Rip Current Risk through this evening. One to three foot waves today, mostly sunny, and southwest winds 10 to 15 miles per hour with water temps in the low 70s. Sunday brings three to four foot waves to this area with that moderate rip current risk sticking around and steady southwest winds.

Here's the big picture: Saturday's your mellow day with smaller waves and lighter winds. Sunday things are ramping up. Expect three to four foot waves across most beaches by Sunday with moderate to high rip current risks, especially down south. The water's warming up as you head south, and the sun's going to be intense both days with that very high UV index.

Stay safe out there, respect the rip currents especially where they're rated high, and have a great weekend on the water!

Good morning surfers and beach lovers! Let's dive into what Mother Ocean is cooking up for us this Friday and Saturday along the North Carolina coast.

Starting with the Northern Outer Banks from Duck down to Nags Head, we're looking at a beautiful Friday with sunny skies and two to three foot waves. The moderate rip current risk is in effect through this evening, so please keep your wits about you if you're heading out. Water temps are sitting in the mid 60s, so a wetsuit is your friend. The high today reaches the mid 80s with light southwest winds at five to ten miles per hour. Come Saturday, conditions mellow out nicely with low rip current risk and those same two to three foot waves. Perfect beach day shaping up.

Moving south to Hatteras Island, things get a bit spicier. North of Cape Hatteras, we're dealing with high rip current risk today with surf reaching two to four feet. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect through this evening, so definitely respect the ocean's power up there. South of Cape Hatteras, we've got moderate rip current risk and slightly smaller two to three foot waves. Water's a touch warmer in the upper 60s. Come Saturday, the rip current situation improves to moderate on both sides with three foot waves all around.

Ocracoke Island is flying the flag high with a high rip current risk today and a Beach Hazards Statement through this evening. Two to three foot surf with that consistent high risk through Saturday, where waves bump up to three to four feet. This area's showing off warmer water temps in the mid 70s. Don't underestimate the ocean here, folks.

Over at East Carteret, including Cape Lookout and Shackleford Banks, the Core Banks are posting high rip current risk today while Shackleford hangs at low risk. The Beach Hazards Statement covers the Core Banks through this evening. Expect two to three foot waves at Core Banks and smaller one to two foot stuff at Shackleford. Saturday brings high risk to Core Banks and moderate risk to Shackleford with three foot waves all around.

Down at West Carteret near Fort Macon and Emerald Isle, today's relatively calm with low rip current risk and small one to two foot waves. Saturday steps things up with moderate rip current risk and two to three foot waves. Water temps sit in the mid 70s both days.

Finally, Coastal Onslow including North Topsail Beach maintains moderate rip current risk through this evening and into Saturday. Two to three foot waves today and Saturday with similar conditions. Water temps in the mid 70s and a high near the lower 80s.

Here's the bottom line: Friday's a solid day across the board with mostly sunny skies and light winds, but respect those rip currents, especially in the Hatteras and Ocracoke areas. Saturday maintains the sunny vibe with slightly stronger southwest winds developing. Water temps range from mid 60s in the north to mid 70s down south. Whether you're paddling out or just soaking up the sun, it's shaping up to be a beautiful beach weekend. Stay safe out there and enjoy those waves!

Good morning, this is your North Carolina Beach Surf Report for Thursday, June fourth through Friday, June fifth.

We're looking at a gorgeous stretch of weather across the Outer Banks and down through the Crystal Coast, but Mother Ocean has a few tricks up her sleeve, so pay close attention.

Starting with the Northern Outer Banks from Duck through Nags Head, we've got sunny skies and relatively calm winds out of the northeast at five to ten miles per hour. Surf is running two to four feet, which should be fun for the experienced crowd. However, here's the thing: we've got a HIGH rip current risk in effect from eight this morning through this evening, and that Beach Hazards Statement is no joke. The water's sitting in the mid-sixties, so it's definitely still cold, and that UV Index is very high, so sunscreen is absolutely mandatory. High temperature today around the lower seventies.

Heading down to Hatteras Island, we're seeing a split forecast. North of Cape Hatteras, conditions mirror what we're seeing up north with that HIGH rip current risk and two to four foot surf. South of Cape Hatteras, things ease up a bit with moderate rip currents and two to three foot waves. Either way, it's going to be sunny and beautiful, with northeast winds around ten miles per hour and water temps in the upper sixties.

Ocracoke Island is looking pretty solid with moderate rip current risk, two to three foot surf, and that same sunny forecast. It'll be slightly warmer there with highs in the mid-seventies.

Moving west to the Core Banks at Cape Lookout National Seashore, we've got a HIGH rip current risk warning as well, with two to four foot surf. Shackleford Banks, on the other hand, is much calmer with low rip current risk and only around one foot of surf, making it a better option if you're looking to avoid the heavier conditions.

The Carteret beaches from Fort Macon through Emerald Isle and down to North Topsail are experiencing moderate rip current risk with one to two foot surf. It's still going to be sunny and warm, with highs around eighty degrees.

Now looking ahead to Friday, conditions are going to improve noticeably across most areas. Rip current risk is dropping to moderate or low at most locations, though it'll still be moderate north of Cape Hatteras. Surf heights will generally be slightly smaller at two to three feet in most places, and those pesky northeast winds will flip to the west and southwest, becoming lighter as well. Expect warmer highs in the lower eighties and continued sunny skies.

The bottom line: today is spectacular weather, but respect those rip currents, especially in the HIGH risk zones along the Northern Outer Banks and Core Banks. Friday is going to be even better with improving conditions. So grab your board, slather on that sunscreen, and get out there, but please, swim smart and stay aware of your surroundings.

Good morning surfers and beach lovers along the North Carolina coast! We're tracking some excellent conditions across our beaches today with plenty of sunshine and some serious swell action in certain spots.

Let's start up north at the Outer Banks where Duck, Kitty Hawk, and Nags Head are looking pretty solid. We're expecting five to seven foot waves with high rip current risk throughout the day. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect from eight AM this morning through this evening, so definitely take those rip currents seriously. Winds will be coming from the north at ten to fifteen miles per hour, and you'll want to keep an eye on that very high UV index. Water temps are hanging in the mid-sixties, so a wetty might be your friend today.

Heading down to Hatteras Island, conditions amp up considerably, especially north of Cape Hatteras where we've got a High Surf Advisory in effect until five PM this afternoon. Surfers on the northern beaches can look forward to five to eight foot waves, while the south side will see three to five footers. Both areas are looking at high rip current risk, so know what you're doing out there. Winds will be north at fifteen to twenty miles per hour, and it's going to be sunny with highs in the lower seventies.

Over at Ocracoke Island, we're sitting at three to five foot waves with high rip current risk and northeast winds around twenty miles per hour. Water temps here are a touch warmer in the low seventies, and highs will reach the mid-seventies.

Moving to East Carteret near Cape Lookout, the Core Banks are the place to be today with three to five foot waves and high rip current risk, while Shackleford Banks will be smaller with one to two footers and low rip current risk. Northeast winds around twenty miles per hour will be pushing through.

West Carteret around Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach is looking mellow with just one to two foot waves and low rip current risk. Perfect spot for beginners or those wanting to take it easy. Warmest water of the bunch down here in the upper seventies.

Finally, Coastal Onslow is showing moderate rip current risk with two to three foot waves. A Moderate Rip Current Risk advisory is in effect from eight AM through this evening.

Now, looking ahead to Thursday, things calm down nicely across the board. Most areas see rip current risk dropping to moderate or low, surf heights generally dropping a foot or two, and winds becoming lighter. High temperatures Thursday will range from the mid-seventies up north to around eighty down south. It'll be another beautiful sunny day.

So grab your board, respect the rip currents especially today, slather on that sunscreen, and get out there and enjoy what promises to be an outstanding couple of days at the beach.
