# Surf Zone Forecast Report

Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for Wednesday, April 1st, 2026.

A moderate risk of rip currents is in effect from 6 AM this morning through this evening across the northern portions of our forecast area. Whether you're planning to hit the water at Surf City, Topsail Beach, Wrightsville Beach, or Carolina Beach, please exercise caution and be aware of strong currents pulling seaward from the shore.

Let's break down today's conditions by region. Along Coastal Pender, we're looking at one to three foot surf with mostly sunny skies. It's going to be a beautiful day with highs in the lower 70s and light south winds between 5 and 10 miles per hour. Water temperatures are hovering around 60 degrees. High tide at Topsail Inlet comes in at 8:32 AM with low tide at 2:59 PM. The moderate south to north longshore current will be a factor, so swimmers and surfers should stay alert.

Over in Coastal New Hanover, conditions are similar with one to three foot surf and sunny skies. The high tide at Mercer Pier peaks at 7:36 AM with low tide at 1:54 PM. Again, expect that moderate south to north longshore current and take precautions against rip currents.

Down in Coastal Brunswick, the story changes slightly. Here we're looking at low rip current risk with one to three foot surf generally, though it may reach around two feet west of Ocean Isle Beach. High tide at Lockwoods Folly happens at 8:48 AM with low tide at 3:07 PM.

Further south in Coastal Horry near Myrtle Beach, we also have low rip current risk today with one to two foot surf depending on location. The water will be sunny and pleasant with highs near 70 degrees.

Coastal Georgetown continues the trend with low rip current risk and just one foot of surf, though a moderate south to north longshore current is present here as well.

Now looking ahead to Thursday, the moderate rip current risk continues across the northern zones. Surf heights will bump up to two to four feet along Coastal Pender and around two to three feet in Coastal New Hanover. Conditions remain sunny with highs in the lower 70s and very light southeast winds. Southern locations remain in the low risk category with similar pleasant conditions.

By Friday, we expect moderate rip current risk to expand further south toward Myrtle Beach and Georgetown, while surf heights gradually build. Sunny skies continue with highs in the mid 70s and southeast winds around 5 miles per hour.

Saturday brings mostly sunny conditions with a slight chance of showers. Rip current risk remains moderate across much of the area, and surf heights stay in the two to four foot range. It's shaping up to be another nice beach day overall.

Sunday is when we need to pay closer attention. A high rip current risk develops across Coastal Pender, while moderate rip current risk continues further south. We'll see increased shower chances and a slight chance of thunderstorms, so keep an eye on the sky. Surf heights will be two

Well folks, if you've been checking the surf reports religiously all summer long, we've got some news for you. The National Weather Service Wilmington has officially closed the book on the 2025 surf season. As of tonight at seven twenty-six PM Eastern Daylight Time on Halloween, the forecasts for all your favorite Carolina beaches are now on hiatus.

That means if you've been hitting the waves at Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, or Kure Beach down in North Carolina, or if you're one of those dedicated surfers who makes the trek to Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, or any of those South Carolina hotspots, the detailed surf zone forecasts you've relied on are taking a well-deserved break.

From the northern reaches of Pender County beaches like Surf City and Topsail Island, all the way down to the southern coastal communities of Georgetown County including Pawleys Island and Murrells Inlet, the same message applies. The seasonal forecasts that have been helping you plan your water activities are officially offline.

But don't worry, this downtime won't last forever. The National Weather Service will be firing things back up when spring rolls around. Mark your calendars for April first, twenty twenty-six. That's when the 2026 surf season forecasts will resume and you'll have that detailed local guidance back in your hands.

So for now, take this time to wax those boards, check your gear, and dream about next season. See you in the spring.

Good evening, this is your surf zone forecast for the North Carolina and South Carolina coast. Well folks, we've officially hung up our surfboards for the 2025 season. The National Weather Service Wilmington has called it, and the surf zone forecasts covering everything from Pender County down to Georgetown are now closed for the year.

If you're in the Surf City and Topsail Beach area, the beaches of Wrightsville, Masonboro Island, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, or Fort Fisher, or if you frequent the Brunswick County shores including Bald Head Island, Oak Island, Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, and Sunset Beach, you'll want to take note. The same goes for all our Myrtle Beach area friends in Horry County, from Cherry Grove all the way down to Garden City, as well as those enjoying Murrells Inlet, Litchfield Beach, Pawleys Island, and Debordieu Beach over in Georgetown County.

So here's the deal. The 2025 beach season is officially in the books. Whether you caught some epic swells this summer or spent most of your time watching the ocean from your beach chair, the formal surf forecasting is done. But don't worry, we're not abandoning you for too long. Mark your calendars for April first, twenty twenty-six. That's when we'll be back with fresh forecasts, updated conditions, and all the intel you need to get back in the water when warmer weather returns.

Until then, enjoy the quieter fall and winter months. Check back in the spring and we'll be ready to keep you informed on every swell that rolls through.

Well folks, it's official. The 2025 surf season has come to an end across the Carolina coast. The National Weather Service in Wilmington wrapped things up on this Halloween evening, October thirty first, and the beaches from Pender County down through Georgetown are now entering their off season.

If you've been following the surf zone forecasts all year long, you'll want to mark your calendars because the forecasts will be back in action on April first, twenty twenty six. That gives everyone a solid few months to rest, recover, and get ready for what we hope will be another fantastic beach season come spring.

For those of you in the Surf City and Topsail area, or down in Wrightsville, Carolina Beach, and Kure Beach, the daily forecasts are done for now. Same goes for all you Oak Island and Holden Beach regulars, and for everyone who enjoys the Myrtle Beach area and points south toward Georgetown. The forecast information you've relied on throughout the year is now on hiatus.

So what does this mean for you? Well, if you're a die hard surfer, winter swells are still out there, but you won't have the official forecast guidance to lean on until spring returns. It's a good time to maintain your equipment, plan some trips, and get excited about April when we kick things back into gear.

Until then, stay safe out there and we'll see you when the 2026 season officially begins.

As of tonight at 726 PM Eastern Daylight Time on Halloween, Friday October 31st, the National Weather Service in Wilmington is officially wrapping up surf forecasting for the 2025 beach season. Whether you've been catching waves at Wrightsville Beach, Topsail, Carolina Beach, or down the coast through Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island, your daily detailed surf reports are now taking a well-deserved break.

We're talking about the end of forecasts for all the popular breaks across North Carolina and South Carolina. That includes the Pender County beaches like Surf City and Topsail Beach.

Until then, you local surfers and ocean enthusiasts will need to rely on buoy data, general marine forecasts, and your own experience reading the waves to plan your sessions.

Thanks for tuning in all season long, and we'll see you back in the water next spring.

Good evening, this is your National Weather Service Surf Zone Forecast for the coastal Carolinas. Well folks, if you've been hitting the waves all summer and fall, it's time to hang up your boards and head inside for a while. The 2025 surf season has officially come to an end as of tonight, October 31st.

That's right, surfers and beach enthusiasts throughout coastal North Carolina and South Carolina, the regular surf zone forecasts are taking a seasonal break. Whether you've been catching swells at Wrightsville Beach, paddling out at Myrtle Beach, or exploring the breaks at Topsail, the formal forecasting period is wrapping up for the year.

This suspension affects all our forecast zones, from the beaches of Coastal Pender including Surf City and Topsail Beach, down through Coastal New Hanover with Wrightsville, Carolina Beach, and Kure Beach, continuing through Coastal Brunswick beaches like Oak Island and Holden Beach, and all the way south to our South Carolina zones covering the bustling Myrtle Beach area and the quieter shores of Georgetown County.

Well folks, if you've been checking the surf reports along the Carolina coast hoping to catch some waves this Halloween weekend, I've got some news that might put a damper on your trick or treat plans. The National Weather Service has officially called it a season, and the surf zone forecasts are now officially on the shelf until spring rolls back around.

Starting this evening at seven twenty-six PM Eastern time, the 2025 beach season forecasts are officially in the books. Whether you're eyeing the breaks at Wrightsville Beach or Kure Beach up in North Carolina, or if you've been dreaming about dropping in at Myrtle Beach or Pawleys Island down in South Carolina, the regular season forecasts have wrapped up for the year.

The good news is this isn't permanent. Come April first next year, the forecasts will be back with all the latest intel on swell direction, wave heights, wind conditions, and everything else you need to know to plan your sessions. So while the official surf zone forecasts may be taking a winter hibernation, Mother Ocean will still be doing her thing out there.

For those hardcore wave riders who can't wait until spring, remember that conditions don't stop just because the forecasts do. Winter swells will still roll through, nor'easters will still pump, and the Atlantic will keep creating opportunities for those willing to brave the colder water and shorter days. Just keep an eye on general weather forecasts and marine conditions as your guide until the official reports return in April.

So hang tight, surfers. The ocean's not going anywhere, and neither are those waves. See you at the beach when the season officially kicks off again next spring.

Well folks, it's officially the end of the road for the 2025 surf season along the Carolina coast. As of tonight, October thirty-first, the National Weather Service in Wilmington has wrapped up surf zone forecasts for the year, and honestly, it's been quite a ride.

From the beaches of Pender County including Surf City and Topsail Beach, all the way down through New Hanover's iconic breaks at Wrightsville and Carolina Beach, down to Brunswick County's quieter stretches at Oak Island and Holden Beach, and extending into South Carolina's Horry County hotspots like Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle, the 2025 season is officially in the books.

The Georgetown area beaches round out the forecast zone, and they too are now transitioning into the quieter winter months from a forecasting perspective.

So what does this mean for you wave riders out there? Well, the official surf zone forecasts that have guided your sessions since spring are taking a hiatus. But here's the thing, the ocean doesn't stop moving just because the National Weather Service stops forecasting. Winter swells are absolutely on the menu as we head into November and December, and some of the best conditions of the year often arrive during these cooler months.

The good news is that when April first rolls around in 2026, the surf zone forecasts will be back in action, ready to help you navigate the spring and summer conditions ahead.

Until then, keep an eye on the Atlantic, watch for those winter storm systems that'll send quality swell our way, and stay safe out there in the lineup.

The National Weather Service will be back with full-featured surf zone forecasts starting April first, twenty twenty-six. That gives you plenty of time to maintain your boards, stay in shape, and get mentally prepared for spring swells and the upcoming season.

So while your local beaches along the North Carolina and South Carolina coasts might not have dedicated surf forecasts right now, don't let that stop you from enjoying the water during the winter months. Just stay safe out there and keep an eye on general marine conditions.
