Alright surfers and beach lovers, gather round for the final surf zone update of 2024!
The National Weather Service in Wilmington just dropped the curtain on this season's coastal forecasts. From Surf City to Sunset Beach, and stretching down through Myrtle Beach and beyond, we're officially putting the surfboards into winter storage.
As the autumn winds whisper across North Carolina and South Carolina's coastlines, the surf zone forecasts are taking a well-deserved break. The beaches of Pender, New Hanover, and Brunswick counties in North Carolina have seen their last official report for 2024. Same story for Horry and Georgetown counties along the South Carolina coast.
Whether you were catching waves at Wrightsville Beach, carving up swells at Carolina Beach, or hanging ten at Oak Island, this season's forecasts have been our trusty maritime companions. From the sandy shores of Bald Head Island to the picturesque breaks of Murrells Inlet, we've tracked every ripple and swell.
But don't get too melancholy, wave riders! Mark your calendars because the NWS Wilmington crew will be back with fresh forecasts on April 1st, 2025. That's right - just four months until we're riding the spring tide once again.
Until then, keep your boards waxed, your wetsuit ready, and your stoke high. The ocean is always calling, even when the official forecasts take a winter vacation.
Catch you on the flip side, surf community!
