Starting off with Coastal Pender, in spots like Surf City and Topsail Beach, we're looking at a low rip current risk—always a good sign! The surf height is expected to reach 1 to 3 feet, not too shabby. The UV index is very high, so make sure to slap on that sunscreen. And hey, the water temperature is in the lower 70s. Perfect for a refreshing dip! With mostly sunny weather ahead and northeast winds of 5 to 10 mph, it's shaping up to be a fantastic day out on the water.

Moving on to Coastal New Hanover, including Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach, there's a bit more action with a moderate rip current risk. The surf will be 2 to 4 feet, so get ready for some fun waves. Don't forget your sunscreen with the very high UV index. The water temperature is also in the lower 70s, ideal for a swim. Brace yourself for strong north to south longshore currents and northeast winds around 15 mph.

Now let's head to Coastal Brunswick, from Bald Head Island to Sunset Beach. With a low rip current risk, you can relax and enjoy surf heights around 1 to 3 feet. The UV index is very high, so keep that sun protection handy. The water's in the lower 70s, and the weather is looking mostly sunny. Expect northeast winds of 5 to 10 mph to keep things breezy!
