Good evening, this is your Surf Zone Forecast from the National Weather Service in Newport and Morehead City, North Carolina, issued at 8:04 PM Eastern Daylight Time on Friday, October 31st, 2025.
Well folks, if you've been hoping to catch some autumn swells along the North Carolina coast, I've got some news that might send you back inside. Tonight marks the end of our surf forecasting season, and we're officially closing the book on surf zone predictions until mid-April next year. Yes, that's right—we're hanging up our boards for the winter months across all our forecast areas.
This discontinuation affects every beach zone we cover, from the Northern Outer Banks including Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head, all the way down to the Coastal Onslow region with Hammocks Beach and North Topsail Beach. Whether you're thinking about the breaks at Hatteras Island with Rodanthe, Avon, Buxton, and Frisco, the quieter shores of Ocracoke Island, the Cape Lookout National Seashore in East Carteret, the popular Fort Macon and Emerald Isle beaches on the West Carteret coast, or anywhere in between—the formal surf forecasts are taking a seasonal hiatus.
Now, before you think we're completely abandoning you, there's still good news. Tide and water temperature information remains available on the RDUTIDMHX product. So if you're one of those hardy winter water enthusiasts who doesn't mind the cold, you can still track those conditions to help plan your sessions.
Mark your calendars for mid-April 2026 when our detailed surf forecasts return to bring you back into the action. Until then, stay safe out there and we'll see you in the spring.
