Hey there, beach lovers and coastal adventurers!
As we wave goodbye to another surf season, the National Weather Service has officially hung up the surf forecast for the winter months. From the Northern Outer Banks to Ocracoke Island, and stretching down to the beautiful beaches of Carteret and Onslow Counties, the waves are taking a seasonal timeout.
Don't worry, though! While the detailed surf zone forecasts are hibernating until spring 2025, you're not completely cut off from ocean intel. The RDUTIDMHX product is still your go-to source for all things tides and water temperatures. So you can still keep tabs on the maritime mood.
For those of you die-hard surfers, ocean enthusiasts, and beach wanderers, this doesn't mean the coast goes silent. It just means you'll need to be a bit more resourceful in your marine information gathering. Think of it as an off-season adventure - checking alternative sources, connecting with local surf shops, and keeping that coastal spirit alive.
Areas covered include the picturesque beaches of Duck, Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, Hatteras, Ocracoke, Cape Lookout National Seashore, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, and North Topsail Beach. Each of these stunning locations will be patiently waiting for their spring forecast revival.
So grab your hot cocoa, start planning your spring beach strategy, and keep that saltwater spirit burning bright. The waves will be calling again before you know it!
Stay salty, stay informed, and see you in the spring!
