Alright surf enthusiasts, gather round for the final wave report of the 2024 season!

As the chilly October evening settles in, the National Weather Service in Wilmington is hanging up its surfboard forecast until spring. From the sandy shores of Pender County to the beaches of Brunswick and beyond, we're calling it a wrap on our 2024 coastal coverage.

Whether you've been catching breaks at Surf City, shredding waves at Wrightsville Beach, or carving up the Atlantic at Myrtle Beach, it's time to store those boards and wetsuits. Our dedicated meteorologists have been tracking swells, winds, and currents to keep you safe all season long.

But don't get too bummed out, wave riders! Mark your calendars for April 1st, 2025 - that's when we'll be back with fresh forecasts covering all your favorite coastal hotspots. From the pristine beaches of North Carolina to the sun-soaked strands of South Carolina, we'll be tracking every ripple and roller.

Until then, stay stoked, keep those skills sharp, and dream of epic waves. The off-season is perfect for board maintenance, watching surf films, and planning next year's ocean adventures. Maybe take some surf lessons, upgrade your gear, or plan that dream surf trip.

Surfers, this is your farewell forecast for 2024. Stay salty, stay safe, and we'll see you when the spring swells start rolling in!

Aloha and hang loose!
