Catch a wave of excitement, beach lovers! The coastal forecast is looking absolutely stellar for the Carolina shoreline this weekend.

South winds are riding in at a smooth 10 to 15 miles per hour, pushing temperatures into the mid-70s with gloriously sunny skies. Water temperatures are creeping up to the mid-60s - perfect for adventurous swimmers and surfers looking to shake off winter's chill.

Surf conditions are relatively mellow with waves dancing between 1 to 2 feet along most beaches, though Ocean Isle Beach and areas north of Myrtle Beach might see slightly perkier 2 to 3 foot swells. Rip current risks are predominantly low, but beach veterans know to stay alert near groins, jetties, and piers where sneaky currents can pop up.

The UV index is screaming very high, so sunscreen is your best friend today. Pack that SPF, grab your shades, and prepare for a moderate south to north longshore current that'll keep things interesting.

Weekend warrior forecast looks mostly sunny with southwest winds around 10 miles per hour. Tides will be rolling in with morning lows and midday highs - perfect timing for beach activities.

Extended outlook suggests a midweek possibility of scattered showers and a slight thunderstorm chance on Wednesday, but until then, it's pure coastal paradise. Whether you're surfing, sunbathing, or just soaking in those ocean vibes, this weekend is serving up some serious beach magic.

Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy the Carolina coastline!
