Ahoy, surfers and beachgoers! Get ready to hang ten and ride those waves at the Coastal Pender beaches of Surf City and Topsail Beach.

Today, we're looking at a low* risk of rip currents, with surf heights ranging from 1 to 3 feet. Watch out for thunderstorms as the potential is moderate, and hey, keep an eye out for waterspouts too! The UV index is very high, so don't forget that sunscreen. Water temps are in the lower 70s, and it's mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. High temps will be in the mid 70s with south winds around 10 mph. Tides at Topsail Inlet will be low at 11:36 AM EDT.
