Attention beach lovers and wave riders! The surf season has officially wrapped up along the Carolina coastline. From the sandy shores of Pender County to the sun-kissed beaches of Georgetown, the National Weather Service has closed the books on the 2024 surf zone forecasts.
Whether you were catching waves at Surf City, hanging ten at Wrightsville Beach, or exploring the pristine sands of Bald Head Island, the coastal magic has temporarily paused. Our favorite stretch of ocean from North Carolina's Outer Banks down to South Carolina's Grand Strand is taking a seasonal timeout.
But don't hang up those surfboards just yet! Mark your calendars and set your wave-watching alerts because the NWS Wilmington team will be back in action on April 1st, 2025. That's right - spring is just around the corner, and with it comes the promise of fresh swells, epic breaks, and endless coastal adventures.
From the rocky points of Oak Island to the tranquil waters of Pawleys Island, the anticipation is building. Beach towns like Carolina Beach, Myrtle Beach, and Holden Beach are already preparing for another incredible season of sun, surf, and seaside excitement.
So while the official forecasts have gone quiet, the ocean continues its timeless rhythm. Keep your gear ready, your spirits high, and your passion for the coast burning bright. The waves are just taking a short winter break, and before you know it, we'll be back to tracking every ripple and swell along this magnificent shoreline.
Stay stoked, stay prepared, and see you on the beach in 2025!
