Surf's down, beach lovers! The National Weather Service Wilmington has officially wrapped up the 2024 Surf Zone Forecast season. As the autumn chill settles in, our coastal friends from Pender to Brunswick Counties in North Carolina and Horry to Georgetown Counties in South Carolina are hanging up their beach gear.

From the sandy shores of Surf City and Topsail Beach to the vibrant coastlines of Wrightsville and Carolina Beach, the waves have gone quiet. Oak Island, Holden Beach, and the charming Bald Head Island are now trading surfboards for sweaters.

Myrtle Beach party-goers and Pawleys Island relaxation seekers will have to wait until spring to catch those perfect swells. The National Weather Service has set their restart button for April 1st, 2025 - marking the official return of daily surf zone forecasts.

But don't let the seasonal shutdown dampen your beach spirit! This is the perfect time to wax those boards, plan your summer strategies, and dream of those epic wave-riding moments. Beach communities from North Carolina to South Carolina are taking a well-deserved oceanic pause.

Surfers, swimmers, and coastal enthusiasts - your patience will be rewarded. When those spring winds return and the water starts warming up, the Surf Zone Forecast will be back with all the maritime meteorological magic you've been craving.

Until then, stay salty and keep those beach vibes alive!
