Surf Report - Newport - Morehead City NC

Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for the North Carolina coast issued at 324 AM Eastern Daylight Time on Tuesday, May 5th, 2026. Let's start up north where conditions are looking pretty mellow. The Northern Outer Banks from Duck down through Nags Head will see small one to two foot waves today under sunny skies with highs in the mid seventies. Rip current risk stays low, though remember that life-threatening currents can still form near groins, jetties and piers. Water temperatures are hovering in the mid fifties, so if you're thinking about a quick dip, you might want to ease in slowly. South winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour will keep things pleasant, and the UV index is running high, so break out that sunscreen. Moving down the coast to Hatteras Island, today looks similar with mostly sunny skies and one to two foot surf on both the north and south sides of Cape Hatteras. Again, low rip current risk across the board and highs in the mid seventies. Water temperatures are slightly warmer in the upper fifties here. Wednesday's when things get interesting. North of Cape Hatteras, rip current risk remains low, but south of the cape we're bumping up to moderate risk. Surf heights increase to two to three feet, and that slight chance of showers moves in along with partly sunny conditions. Ocracoke Island is also expecting a moderate rip current risk on Wednesday with two to three foot surf. Today though, it's quiet with low risk and one to two foot waves. Water temperatures here are actually the warmest we're seeing at a comfortable mid sixties. Head down to East Carteret and Cape Lookout National Seashore, and you'll notice the most significant change on Wednesday. The Core Banks could see two to five foot surf, while Shackleford Banks looks at three to four footers. Rip current risk jumps to moderate for both areas. Today remains calm with one to two foot conditions and low risk. West Carteret beaches including Fort Macon, Atlantic Beach, and Emerald Isle will see moderate rip current risk develop on Wednesday with two to three foot surf. Today's forecast keeps it small at one to two feet with low rip current risk. Mid sixties water temperatures and mostly sunny skies make for a nice beach day. Finally, Coastal Onslow around Hammocks Beach and North Topsail Beach stays mellow on both days. Rip current risk remains low through Wednesday, with one to two foot surf both days. Water temperatures are in the upper sixties, the warmest stretch of beach we're forecasting, and mostly sunny conditions prevail. That's your Tuesday and Wednesday surf outlook for the North Carolina coast. Be safe out there and check local conditions before heading out.

Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for the North Carolina coast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Newport and Morehead City. Let's break down what's happening in the water and on the beaches today. We're looking at moderate rip current risk from eight AM this morning through this evening across most of the northern and central coast. That includes the Northern Outer Banks, Hatteras Island, and Ocracoke Island. If you're planning to get in the water, stay aware of these currents and remember that rip currents often form near groins, jetties, and piers. The southern beaches around Carteret County and down toward Onslow are showing low rip current risk, so conditions are a bit gentler there. Surf heights are running two to three feet across the northern zones, with slightly smaller one to two foot waves at West Carteret and along Coastal Onslow. It's going to be a gorgeous day out there. Expect abundant sunshine with no thunderstorm potential anywhere along the coast. The UV index is running high, so slather on that sunscreen before you head out. Water temperatures vary a bit depending on where you are. The northern beaches are chilly, with the upper 50s near Duck, low 60s around Hatteras, and mid 60s at Ocracoke and Carteret. If you're sensitive to cool water, you might want to grab a wetsuit. Winds will be light to moderate, with southwest winds between ten and fifteen miles per hour. High temperatures look to reach the lower 70s across most of the forecast area, with West Carteret right around 70 degrees. So it's the perfect spring day for a beach visit. Looking ahead to Tuesday, most locations will see a drop in rip current risk down to low, though Hatteras Island and Ocracoke will remain at moderate. Surf heights stay about the same, two to three feet across the board. Another sunny day is in store with that high UV index still in effect. Temperatures creep up just a touch to the mid 70s for most areas. Winds ease back to around ten miles per hour, with just a whisper of breeze at Coastal Onslow early in the day. So there you have it. A beautiful two day period ahead with calm conditions and plenty of sunshine. Just keep an eye on those rip currents if you're up north, and you're all set for some quality beach time.

Good morning, this is your Outer Banks surf forecast for Sunday, May 3rd, brought to you by the National Weather Service in Newport. We're looking at some beautiful beach weather today, but with a few important cautions to keep in mind. Sunny skies will dominate across the entire forecast area with very high UV levels, so definitely get that sunscreen on early and often. Starting up north in Duck and the Northern Outer Banks, we're expecting two to four foot surf with high rip current risk. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect from eight this morning through this evening. The high tide at Duck Pier comes in around nine fifteen in the morning with a low tide just after three in the afternoon. Water temps are in the upper fifty-s, and with northwest winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour, conditions should remain quite pleasant for those brave enough to get in the water. Heading down to Hatteras Island, conditions vary a bit depending on where you are. North of Cape Hatteras, we've got the same high rip current risk and two to four foot surf with another Beach Hazards Statement in effect. South of Cape Hatteras though, the rip current risk drops to moderate with slightly smaller two to three foot waves. Water temperatures there hover around sixty degrees. Over at Ocracoke Island and Cape Lookout, we're looking at moderate rip current risk throughout the day with two to three foot surf. Keep in mind that even with moderate risk, life-threatening rip currents are definitely possible in the surf zone, so pay attention to the water and swim near lifeguards if available. Things are notably calmer as we head toward the Crystal Coast. West Carteret and Coastal Onslow both have low rip current risk with smaller one to two foot waves, making those areas a bit friendlier for less experienced swimmers and families. Looking ahead to Monday, expect mostly the same sunny conditions with slightly warmer temperatures climbing into the lower seventies. Rip current risk decreases across the board, though moderate risk persists in some northern zones. Winds will shift to the southwest at ten to fifteen miles per hour, and surf will stay relatively small at one to three feet depending on location. Water temperatures remain cool in the lower sixties north of Cape Lookout, so consider a wetsuit if you're planning an extended session. No thunderstorms are expected through the forecast period, which means you've got a nice window to enjoy these beaches. Remember, even on days with low rip current risk, strong currents can still develop near structures like groins, jetties, reefs, and piers. If you find yourself in a rip current, don't panic or try to swim directly against it. Instead, swim parallel to the shore until you're out of the current, then head back to land. Have a fantastic and safe day at the beach. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for the Northern Outer Banks, brought to you by the National Weather Service in Newport and Morehead City. A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through this evening, so pay close attention to what's happening in the water today. Looking at Saturday, we're expecting high rip current risk across the Northern Outer Banks, so swimmers and surfers need to exercise extra caution. If you find yourself caught in a rip current, remember to stay calm and swim parallel to the shore rather than fighting it directly. Surf heights will range from three to five feet, which should make for some decent conditions if you're heading out on a board. The water temperature is in the upper fifty degrees, so a wetsuit is definitely recommended. Above water, expect cloudy skies with patchy fog and rain throughout the day. Your high temperature will reach the upper fifty degrees with northeast winds around ten miles per hour, increasing to north around twenty miles per hour in the afternoon. High tide at Duck Pier occurs at eight forty in the morning, reaching two point nine feet, while low tide happens at two twenty-eight in the afternoon at point two feet. Moving into Sunday, conditions improve significantly. High rip current risk continues, but the overall weather picture gets much nicer. We're looking at sunny skies and a high near the lower sixties. Surf heights drop slightly to three to four feet, and winds become lighter out of the northwest around ten miles per hour. High tide at Duck Pier shifts to nine fifteen in the morning at two point eight feet, with low tide at three oh one in the afternoon at point three feet. If you're planning any beach activities this weekend, Saturday requires caution due to rip currents and rain, but Sunday looks like a beautiful day to get outside and enjoy the beach.

Good morning! Here's your surf zone forecast for the North Carolina coast this Friday and Saturday. Starting with the Northern Outer Banks, we're looking at a Beach Hazards Statement in effect from eight AM this morning through this evening. Rip currents will be HIGH, so swimmers need to stay alert. The surf is pumping at four to five feet with northeast winds around ten miles per hour. It'll be partly sunny with highs in the lower sixties, and the water temperature is sitting in the upper fifties. There's no thunderstorm threat, but the UV index is very high, so get that sunscreen on. Moving down to Hatteras Island, conditions are split. North of Cape Hatteras, expect a Beach Hazards Statement with HIGH rip current risk and four to five foot surf. South of Cape Hatteras, rip currents drop to MODERATE with two to five foot waves. Water temperatures are a bit warmer here in the mid sixties. Northeast winds around ten to fifteen miles per hour will keep conditions manageable. Over at Ocracoke Island, rip currents are MODERATE with two to four foot surf. The water's in the upper sixties, making it slightly more swimmable. Northeast winds around ten to fifteen miles per hour with partly sunny skies and very high UV index. East Carteret shows split conditions as well. Core Banks north of Cape Lookout will see MODERATE rip currents with two to four foot surf. Shackleford Banks has LOW rip current risk with two to three foot waves. Slight chance of showers throughout the day with highs in the upper sixties. West Carteret and Coastal Onslow are looking better. Both areas show LOW rip current risk with two to three foot surf. Mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers. Northeast winds around ten miles per hour and highs in the upper sixties. Now looking ahead to Saturday, things are getting a bit more active.

Hatteras Island and East Carteret may see a slight chance of thunderstorms. Winds will shift north to northeast around ten miles per hour in the morning, increasing to around twenty miles per hour in the afternoon. Water temperatures stay similar, and the UV index remains very high wherever you see sun breaks. If you're heading out this weekend, be aware of the HIGH rip current risks in the Northern Outer Banks and north of Cape Hatteras. These are dangerous and potentially life-threatening. Stick to the beaches with LOW rip current risk, or if you do venture into the higher risk zones, stay near lifeguards and avoid the areas around groins, jetties, and piers where rip currents are even more pronounced. Bottom line: Friday's looking decent for a quick beach visit if you head to the lower risk zones. Saturday brings rain and stronger winds, so if you're planning a full beach day, Friday's your best bet. Stay safe out there.

# Northern Outer Banks Surf Report Alright beach lovers, let's dive into what Mother Ocean has in store for the Northern Outer Banks this weekend. Today is looking absolutely gorgeous out there. We're talking mostly sunny skies with a high around the mid 70s, which means grab your sunscreen because that UV index is running high. The water's sitting at a chilly mid 50s, so if you're planning to get wet, a wetsuit is definitely your friend. Surf heights are running small at just one to two feet, making for mellow conditions perfect for beginners or anyone just wanting to chill by the shore. Winds are light out of the south at five to ten miles per hour, and rip current risk is low, though remember that life-threatening rip currents can still pop up around groins and jetties. At Duck Pier, low tide hits at 9:37 in the morning with high tide rolling in at 3:54 in the afternoon. Now here's where things get interesting. Sunday's going to flip the script entirely. We're expecting much more substantial surf with heights climbing to three to six feet, which is a significant jump from today's mellow conditions. The rip current risk cranks up to high, meaning life-threatening rip currents are likely throughout the surf zone, so definitely exercise caution if you're heading out. The weather turns cloudy with showers developing and a chance of thunderstorms popping off. Temperatures will drop a few degrees into the mid 60s. Winds start out of the northwest around ten miles per hour but will increase to around twenty miles per hour during the afternoon. Low tide at Duck Pier shifts to 10:32 in the morning with high tide at 4:53 in the afternoon.

Moving down the coast to Hatteras Island, conditions are a bit more interesting. We've got a moderate rip current risk in effect south of Cape Hatteras through this evening, so swimmers and surfers need to be aware of that. North of the cape, rip current risk stays low. Surf will be around two feet north of Cape Hatteras and bumping up to two to three feet south of the cape. Southwest winds around ten to fifteen miles per hour will keep things moving. Water temps here are a bit cooler in the low sixties. Ocracoke Island is under a moderate rip current risk today as well.

# Outer Banks Surf Zone Forecast Good morning! Here's what Mother Ocean has cooking for the North Carolina coast today and tomorrow. If you're heading to the beach today, you're in for a gorgeous afternoon. We're looking at sunny skies across the entire Outer Banks with light winds and very high UV, so definitely slather on that sunscreen. Surf heights are modest, ranging from one to three feet depending on where you are. The Northern Outer Banks will see one to two footers, while Hatteras Island and points south will see slightly more size, with two to four feet in some spots. Water temperatures are chilly in the upper fifties and mid sixties, so you'll definitely want that wetsuit. Rip current risk is low everywhere today, though as always, be cautious around piers and jetties. It's a beautiful day to be in the water. Now here's where things get interesting heading into Friday. While the weather stays sunny and pleasant with highs in the mid to upper seventies, we're going to see a significant shift in rip current risk. The Northern Outer Banks and Coastal Onslow will remain at low risk, which is great news. But if you're planning to hit Hatteras Island, things are going to kick up considerably. North of Cape Hatteras, we're upgrading to moderate risk, and south of Cape Hatteras, we're looking at high risk. That means life-threatening rip currents will be likely in that area, so exercise extreme caution or consider staying out of the water. Ocracoke Island and Shackleford Banks will also see moderate to high risk conditions, respectively. East Carteret's Shackleford Banks specifically will have high risk Friday. West Carteret around Atlantic Beach will see moderate risk. The good news is surf will be building, with most areas seeing three to four footers by Friday afternoon, making for some decent waves if you're experienced and smart about the currents. Winds Friday shift to southwest around ten to fifteen miles per hour, and we stay sunny all day. So if you're heading out, pick your location carefully based on your skill level and always, always respect those rip currents. Stay safe out there.

Good morning from the National Weather Service in Newport and Morehead City. Here's your surf zone forecast for Thursday and Friday along the North Carolina coast. Today looks absolutely stellar if you're planning a beach day. We're looking at sunny skies from the Outer Banks all the way down to Coastal Onslow with highs ranging from the low to upper seventies. A very high UV index means you'll definitely want that sunscreen. Surf heights are running small, generally one to three feet depending on where you are, with the slightly larger waves showing up south of Cape Hatteras and around the Ocracoke and Carteret areas. Rip current risk is low across the board today, though remember that life-threatening rip currents can still pop up near groins, jetties, and piers even when the risk is rated low. Water temperatures are sitting in the mid to upper fifties at most beaches, so a wetsuit might still feel pretty good. Winds will be light, mostly out of the west and southwest around ten to fifteen miles per hour. Now here's where things get interesting for Friday. While we're still expecting sunny skies and no thunderstorm potential, the rip current situation is escalating. This is especially true south of Cape Hatteras and around the southern Carteret beaches where we're expecting high rip current risk. That means life-threatening rip currents will likely be present in the surf zone. North of Cape Hatteras and at Ocracoke Island, we're looking at moderate risk. Even Coastal Onslow and West Carteret are ramping up from low to moderate. If you're heading out Friday, exercise extreme caution and always swim near a lifeguard. Surf conditions Friday will be a bit more interesting too, with waves building to two to four feet north of Cape Hatteras and three to four feet further south. Coastal Onslow should see two to three foot surf. Winds will remain southwest around ten to fifteen miles per hour, and temperatures will climb to around eighty degrees in some spots. High tide at Atlantic Beach hits at two ten in the afternoon at just over three feet, while Cape Hatteras peaks at two thirty around two point six feet. The bottom line: Thursday is your safer, smaller wave day. If you're venturing out Friday, pay close attention to those rip current warnings, stay near lifeguards, and always respect the ocean's power.

Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for the North Carolina coast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Newport and Morehead City. Let's start up north in the Northern Outer Banks, where conditions are looking pretty sweet today. We're looking at small waves, one to two feet, with low rip current risk. It's going to be sunny with winds out of the southwest around ten miles per hour. High temperatures climbing into the upper seventies. The water is brisk at mid fifty-one degrees, so you'll want to think twice about that spring break water temperature. Thursday brings slightly larger waves around three feet, still low rip current risk, and mostly sunny skies with temperatures holding in the upper seventies. Moving down to Hatteras Island, things get a bit spicier. We have a Beach Hazards Statement in effect today, particularly south of Cape Hatteras where high rip current risk is expected. North of the Cape, expect moderate rip current risk. Waves are one to two feet north of Cape Hatteras, building to two to three feet south of the Cape. Winds are picking up to fifteen to twenty miles per hour out of the southwest. Thursday looks more energetic with larger swells, two to four feet north of the Cape and around four feet south of it. High rip current risk persists south of Cape Hatteras, so definitely be cautious in that area. Over at Ocracoke Island, it's a different story altogether. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect today through this evening with high rip current risk. Waves are running two to three feet with southwest winds fifteen to twenty miles per hour. Thursday brings larger four-foot waves and that high rip current risk continues, so this is definitely not the time to test your rip current swimming skills. Heading south to East Carteret near Cape Lookout, we've got another Beach Hazards Statement north of Cape Lookout today. Core Banks are looking at high rip current risk with around two-foot waves, while Shackleford Banks shows moderate rip current risk with slightly smaller one to two foot swell. Thursday kicks things up considerably with three to four foot waves on Core Banks and around three feet on Shackleford Banks. By Thursday, both areas transition to high rip current risk, so definitely keep that in mind if you're planning to get wet. West Carteret beaches including Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach are under a Moderate Rip Current Risk today with one to two foot waves and that very high UV index continuing. Thursday is the day these beaches really come alive with three to four foot waves building in and high rip current risk taking over. Winds stay out of the southwest at fifteen to twenty miles per hour. Finally, down in Coastal Onslow near North Topsail Beach, we've got moderate rip current risk in effect today with small one to two foot waves. Winds are the lightest along the coast here at ten to fifteen miles per hour. Thursday tells a much bigger story with three to four foot waves and high rip c

Good morning, this is your Outer Banks surf zone forecast for Tuesday, April 14th through Wednesday, April 15th. Let's start up north at the Northern Outer Banks beaches around Duck and Nags Head. We've got a moderate rip current risk in effect this morning through this evening, so swimmers and waders need to exercise caution. Surf heights are running around two feet under mostly sunny skies. The water is chilly at upper 50s, so a wetsuit wouldn't be a bad idea. Expect light southwest winds around 10 miles per hour with highs in the upper 70s. Wednesday brings calmer conditions with low rip current risk and slightly bigger waves at two to three feet. Moving south to Hatteras Island, conditions are a bit more intense. We've issued a Beach Hazards Statement as life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone both north and south of Cape Hatteras. Surf heights are two to three feet with that very high UV index, so sunscreen is essential. Southwest winds around 15 miles per hour with highs in the lower 70s. Wednesday's outlook shows rip currents moderating north of the cape but remaining high south of it, with slightly larger waves at three to four feet and stronger winds at 15 to 20 miles per hour. Down at Ocracoke Island, we're also under a Beach Hazards Statement with high rip current risk continuing through this evening. Two to three foot waves with sunny conditions and water temperatures in the mid 60s. Southwest winds around 15 miles per hour with highs in the lower 70s. Wednesday shows no letup in rip current danger, actually, with waves building to three to four feet. Over at East Carteret near Cape Lookout, Core Banks face high rip current risk with a Beach Hazards Statement in effect, while Shackleford Banks see moderate risk. Waves range from one to three feet depending on location. Wednesday brings a shift where Shackleford Banks spike to high rip current risk while Core Banks moderate. West Carteret beaches including Fort Macon and Emerald Isle are under a moderate rip current risk today with one to two foot waves. Water temperatures are in the lower 60s. Wednesday stays moderate with waves building to around three feet. Finally, Coastal Onslow near Topsail Beach carries moderate rip current risk today with one to two foot surf, but here's the heads up for Wednesday: rip current risk escalates to high with three to four foot waves expected. Highs will reach the upper 70s with continued southwest winds. Bottom line: Beautiful sunny weather across the entire forecast area, but respect the water. Rip currents are a significant concern, especially south of Cape Hatteras and at Ocracoke. Wednesday brings larger waves and stronger winds, so conditions will be more dynamic. Get your sunscreen on, stay hydrated, and if you're getting in the water, know how to identify and escape a rip current. Stay safe out there.

Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for the North Carolina coast brought to you by the National Weather Service Newport office. We're looking at a beautiful Monday ahead with mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures in the mid-seventies. However, beachgoers need to be aware of a moderate rip current risk that will be in effect from 7 AM this morning through this evening, particularly affecting the Northern Outer Banks and Hatteras Island. Let's break down conditions by region. The Northern Outer Banks from Duck through Nags Head will see three to four foot surf with moderate rip current concerns. Water temperatures are still chilly in the mid-fifties, so a wetsuit is definitely recommended if you're planning to get in the water. Southwest winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour will keep things pleasant on the beach. Down at Hatteras Island, surf conditions vary slightly depending on where you are. North of Cape Hatteras, expect three to four foot waves with moderate rip currents, while south of the cape you're looking at two to three foot surf. Both areas carry that same moderate rip current risk through this evening. Ocracoke Island will see two to three foot waves with moderate rip currents today. Water temperatures here are a touch warmer in the mid-sixties, and southwest winds around fifteen miles per hour will provide some nice beach breeze. Moving south to the Cape Lookout areas, Core Banks will experience two to three foot surf with moderate rip currents, while Shackleford Banks has lower rip current risk with just one to two foot waves. West Carteret and Coastal Onslow both show low rip current risk with small one to two foot surf, making these areas your best bet if you want to avoid strong currents today. Now here's something important to watch for as we head into Tuesday. While Monday looks relatively tame, Tuesday brings a significant shift. Rip current risk escalates to high across most of the Outer Banks and barrier islands. Hatteras Island, Ocracoke, and Core Banks all jump to high risk status, meaning life-threatening rip currents will likely be present. Even areas with moderate risk today like West Carteret and Coastal Onslow will see conditions worsen. Tuesday's surf will also pick up noticeably. Expect three to four foot waves along the Northern Outer Banks and Hatteras Island, with some areas seeing up to four feet. Southwest winds increase to fifteen to twenty miles per hour, which will help build that surf. Water temperatures remain in the fifties to mid-sixties. The UV index remains very high both days, so don't forget your sunscreen regardless of whether you're swimming or just enjoying the beach. To summarize: Today is your safer option for water activities despite the moderate rip current warnings. Stay away from piers, jetties, and groins where rip currents are most dangerous. If you do get caught in a rip current, remember to swim parallel to shore, not against the current. Tomorrow brings bigger wa

Good morning, this is your Outer Banks surf forecast for Sunday, April 12th through Monday, April 13th, brought to you by the National Weather Service in Newport. Let's start up north in the Northern Outer Banks where conditions are shaping up to be quite active. We're tracking a Beach Hazards Statement in effect through this evening due to High Risk rip currents. The surf is running three to five feet with mostly sunny skies and east winds around ten miles per hour. The water temperature is hovering in the lower fifties, so a wetsuit is definitely your friend out there. High temperatures will reach the upper sixties today. Tides at Duck Pier will bottom out at half a foot around ten in the morning and peak at nearly three feet in the late afternoon. Moving down to Hatteras Island, conditions vary a bit north and south of Cape Hatteras. North of the cape, we've got that same Beach Hazards Statement with High Risk rip currents and three to five foot surf. South of Cape Hatteras, the rip current risk drops to Moderate with two to four foot waves. It'll be sunny throughout the day with east winds ten to fifteen miles per hour. Water temperatures in the mid-fifties and highs near seventy. Just south of there, Ocracoke Island is looking at Moderate rip current risk with two to four foot surf and mostly sunny conditions. East winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour, highs in the lower seventies, and water temperatures in the upper fifties. Heading to the Crystal Coast, East Carteret shows some interesting variation. The Core Banks are seeing Moderate rip currents with two to four foot surf, while Shackleford Banks is Low Risk with around one foot of surf. Either way, you're looking at mostly sunny skies, east winds, lower seventies, and some very high UV index values. West Carteret and Coastal Onslow are both showing calmer conditions. Low rip current risk, one to three foot surf, mostly sunny and pleasant with that same very high UV index. Water temperatures in the lower sixties. Now let's look ahead to Monday. The pattern stays fairly consistent but with some subtle shifts. Northern Outer Banks maintains High Risk rip currents, though the surf moderates to around three feet. Winds shift to the south at ten to fifteen miles per hour, and we'll be mostly sunny with highs in the mid-seventies. Hatteras Island keeps the same north-south split. High Risk north of Cape Hatteras with two to four foot surf, Moderate risk to the south with three foot waves. Southwest winds develop at ten to fifteen miles per hour and highs reach the lower seventies. Ocracoke stays Moderate for rip currents with three foot surf, mostly sunny, south winds, and mid-seventies for highs. The Crystal Coast continues its gentler pattern on Monday. East Carteret maintains Moderate risk at the Core Banks with three foot surf, while Shackleford Banks stays Low Risk. West Carteret and Coastal Onslow both remain Low Risk with around two foot surf. Skies stay mostly sunny with lig

Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for the North Carolina coast brought to you by the National Weather Service Newport and Morehead City. Let's start up north in the Northern Outer Banks where Duck, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head are looking at some serious rip current activity today. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect through this evening, so heads up if you're planning a beach day. We're talking high risk rip currents out there, with surf running three to five feet. The good news? Sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the upper sixties. Just watch out for that high UV index. Water temperature's sitting in the lower fifties, so it's still pretty chilly. Winds start out from the west around ten miles per hour, then swing to the north this afternoon. Sunday brings more of the same with high risk rip currents and three to four foot surf, though it'll be a touch calmer overall. Heading down to Hatteras Island, we've got some interesting splits happening here. North of Cape Hatteras, it's high risk rip currents and three to five foot surf with a Beach Hazards Statement in effect this morning through this evening. But if you're south of the Cape at places like Frisco or Hatteras Village, rip current risk drops to low with smaller one to three foot waves. Sunday sees a shift where conditions improve south of Cape Hatteras with slightly larger surf while staying low risk. North of the Cape stays high risk with three to five foot waves. Ocracoke Island is sitting in the moderate zone for rip currents today and Sunday with a risk statement in effect through this evening. Two to four foot surf today with sunny skies and temperatures around seventy. Water's warming up a bit here in the mid sixties. Winds are light from the west today, becoming north, then shifting to east around fifteen miles per hour by Sunday. Over at East Carteret, Core Banks shows moderate rip current risk today and Sunday with three to four foot surf, while Shackleford Banks keeps it low risk and much smaller one foot waves today. Sunday brings a nice bump to two to three feet at Shackleford. Again, moderate rip current risk statement in effect north of Cape Lookout through this evening. West Carteret beaches including Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach are looking pretty mellow with low rip current risk and just one to two foot surf today. Temperatures here are warming toward the mid seventies. Sunday stays calm with around two foot surf and low risk throughout. Finally, over at Coastal Onslow with Hammocks Beach and North Topsail Beach, we're keeping it real easy. Low risk rip currents, one to three foot surf today, and upper seventies temperatures. It's nearly glassy out there with those light winds. Sunday brings a slight bump to two to three feet, but it stays low risk and sunny. Bottom line for your weekend at the beach: the northern banks are action packed if you're into the bigger surf and challenging conditions, but watch those rip currents ca

Good morning, it's Friday April 10th, and we've got some solid beach conditions across the North Carolina coast with a few things you'll want to keep in mind before heading out. Let's start up north in the Northern Outer Banks, where Duck, Kitty Hawk, and Nags Head are looking at four to seven foot surf today with high rip current risk. A beach hazards statement is in effect this morning through this evening, so swimmers and waders should exercise extra caution. The water's still pretty chilly at lower 50s, but if you're tough enough to handle that, you're looking at mostly sunny skies, northeast winds at five to ten miles per hour, and highs around the mid 60s. Saturday calms down slightly with three to five foot waves and that rip current risk stays high, so keep your eyes open. Down at Hatteras Island, conditions vary depending on where you are. North of Cape Hatteras, expect four to seven foot surf with high rip current risk and another beach hazards statement in effect today. South of the cape, things are a bit mellower with three to four foot waves and moderate rip current risk. Water temperatures here are slightly warmer at lower 60s. Both areas should see sunny conditions Saturday with three to five foot surf across the board. Ocracoke Island is looking at two to four foot waves today with moderate rip current risk. The water's warming up to mid 60s, and those northeast winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour are keeping things breezy. Saturday brings calm conditions with similar heights and moderate rip current risk persisting. Over at East Carteret near Cape Lookout, Core Banks is where the action is with four to five foot surf and high rip current risk, while Shackleford Banks stays mellow at one to two feet with low rip current risk. Beach hazards statement is in effect north of the cape. Saturday, Core Banks maintains high rip current risk with steady four foot waves. West Carteret beaches including Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle are the calmest stretch with just two to three foot waves and low rip current risk. Perfect if you're looking for easier conditions. Things actually warm up a bit here too with highs in the upper 60s today and mid 70s by Saturday. Finally, Coastal Onslow at North Topsail Beach has moderate rip current risk today with two to three foot waves, but that improves significantly Saturday when rip current risk drops to low with lighter southwest winds around five miles per hour. Throughout the entire forecast area, UV index is running high, so get that sunscreen on. No thunderstorms are expected, and we're looking at sunny to mostly sunny skies everywhere. Winds are generally northeast today, then shifting west to southwest by Saturday as conditions continue to improve. Bottom line: it's a beautiful beach day across North Carolina with mostly sunny skies, but respect the rip currents, especially up north. Stay aware of your surroundings, and Saturday looks even better with lighter winds and calmer seas deve

Good morning! Here's your North Carolina Outer Banks surf report for Thursday and Friday, April 9th and 10th. We're tracking significant surf conditions across the region today with a High Surf Advisory in effect until 11 AM for the northern beaches and Hatteras Island. A Beach Hazards Statement is also active from 7 AM through this evening for those same areas. Starting up north in the Northern Outer Banks around Duck, Kitty Hawk, and Nags Head, expect six to seven foot surf with a High rip current risk. The water's chilly at lower 50s degrees, so bundle up if you're planning to enter. It'll be partly sunny with highs in the mid 50s and northeast winds around 15 mph. The morning low tide at Duck Pier hits 7:18 AM at 0.7 feet with a high of 2.3 feet around 1 PM. Heading down to Hatteras Island, conditions are even more dramatic north of Cape Hatteras where we're expecting seven to eight foot breakers and High rip current risk. South of the cape, waves are more modest at four to six feet, but the rip current risk remains High there too. Northeast winds will gust around 20 mph, and water temps sit in the lower 60s. Over at Ocracoke Island, four to six foot surf with High rip current risk is expected. It'll be partly sunny with upper 50s temperatures and northeast winds around 20 mph. The East Carteret area shows a split forecast. Core Banks north of Cape Lookout will see five to seven foot waves with High rip currents, while Shackleford Banks to the south remains calmer with just two foot surf and Low rip current risk. Down the coast at Emerald Isle and Fort Macon, conditions ease considerably with just two foot surf and Moderate rip current risk.

Good morning, this is your Outer Banks surf forecast for Wednesday, April 8th, 2026. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect from 8 AM this morning through this evening, with a High Surf Advisory extending from noon today through 11 AM Thursday. Conditions are ramping up across the region, so pay close attention to these alerts if you're heading to the beach. Starting with the Northern Outer Banks from Duck through Nags Head, we're looking at 6 to 9 foot surf today with high rip current risk across the board. It'll be sunny until 5 PM, then partly cloudy, with northeast winds around 20 miles per hour. Water temps are sitting in the lower 50s, so a quality wetsuit is essential. The UV index is running high, so sunscreen is a must even on cooler days like today. Expect a high temperature in the lower 50s. Heading down to Hatteras Island, conditions are a bit more robust. North of Cape Hatteras, we're talking 7 to 10 foot surf with high rip current risk and breezy northeast winds at 20 to 25 miles per hour. South of Cape Hatteras, the surf drops to 4 to 6 feet, though rip current risk remains high in both zones. Water temps are a touch warmer here in the lower 60s, and it'll be mostly sunny throughout the day. Ocracoke Island is looking at 4 to 7 foot surf with high rip current risk. Northeast winds will be breezy around 25 miles per hour, gusting stronger at times. It'll be sunny until 4 PM, then partly cloudy. Water temps are in the mid 60s, and the high will reach the mid 50s. Over at East Carteret, conditions split between Core Banks and Shackleford Banks. Core Banks will see 6 to 9 foot waves with high rip current risk, driven by windy northeast winds around 30 miles per hour. Shackleford Banks, meanwhile, will be much calmer with just 2 to 3 foot surf and low rip current risk. Water temps here are in the upper 60s, and it'll be sunny all day. West Carteret around Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach is the calmest zone today with 2 to 4 foot surf and low rip current risk. Northeast winds around 20 miles per hour, sunny skies, and water temps in the lower 60s make this a more approachable option if you want gentler conditions. Coastal Onslow is in between, with 3 to 5 foot surf and moderate rip current risk. A Moderate Rip Current Risk statement is in effect from 8 AM through this evening. Northeast winds around 20 miles per hour, sunny conditions, and lower 60s water temps. Now looking ahead to Thursday, most areas will see modest improvement but conditions remain elevated. The Northern Outer Banks will drop to 6 to 7 foot surf with high rip current risk still in the forecast. Hatteras Island north of Cape Hatteras will see 6 to 8 foot surf with high rip current risk, while south of the Cape it'll be 4 to 6 feet with moderate risk. Ocracoke Island will have 4 to 6 foot surf with high rip current risk. Core Banks at East Carteret will drop to 5 to 7 feet with high rip current risk, while Shackleford Banks stays around 2 feet with low risk. Wes

Good morning, this is your Outer Banks surf forecast for Tuesday, April 7th through Wednesday, April 8th. Today looks like a pretty mellow day out there. We're expecting mostly cloudy skies with light southwest winds around 5 miles per hour that'll pick up to about 15 from the north this afternoon. Surf heights will be modest, ranging from 2 to 4 feet depending on where you are along the coast. Water temps are still chilly, sitting in the lower 50s up north and climbing into the mid 60s as you head south toward Ocracoke and beyond. Now, here's the thing worth paying attention to today. A Moderate Rip Current Risk is in effect from 8 AM this morning through this evening for the Northern Outer Banks, which includes Duck, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head. That means life-threatening rip currents are possible in the surf zone. If you're heading out, know where you are, know how to escape a rip current by swimming parallel to shore, and consider staying on the beach to watch the waves instead of getting in the water. Interestingly, it's a bit of a mixed bag as you head south. Hatteras Island north of Cape Hatteras is under a Beach Hazards Statement and has a High Rip Current Risk today, but south of Cape Hatteras it drops to low. Same goes for East Carteret down in the Cape Lookout area. Meanwhile, Ocracoke Island, West Carteret, and the Onslow beaches are all looking at low rip current risk today. The UV Index will be high across the board, so slather on that sunscreen. Now let's talk about tomorrow because things are about to get interesting. Wednesday is shaping up to be a much more dynamic day. We're looking at a significant swell increase with mostly sunny skies and northeast winds cranking up to around 20 to 30 miles per hour depending on your location. Surf heights are going to jump considerably. The Northern Outer Banks will see 6 to 8 feet. Hatteras Island north of Cape Hatteras will be pumping 7 to 9 feet. East Carteret's Core Banks will also hit that 7 to 9 foot range. Even the southern beaches aren't being left out with 4 to 6 feet expected at most locations. But here's the real alert. The rip current risk is escalating dramatically across much of the forecast area. We're looking at High Rip Current Risk for the Northern Outer Banks, north of Cape Hatteras, and the Core Banks area. That means life-threatening rip currents will likely be in the surf zone. Moderate risk conditions are expected at Ocracoke Island and the Onslow beaches. Only West Carteret maintains a Low risk designation. Temperatures will be cooling down tomorrow too, dropping from today's upper 50s and 60s down to the low to mid 50s across most of the Outer Banks. If you're thinking about getting in the water Wednesday, please take the rip current risk seriously. Those stronger northeast winds combined with larger swell will create powerful and potentially dangerous conditions. If you do venture out, go with a buddy, know the signs of a rip current, and d

Good morning surfers and beach lovers along the North Carolina coast. This is your surf zone forecast for Monday, April 6th through Tuesday, April 7th. Let's start up north in the Northern Outer Banks where Duck, Kitty Hawk, and Nags Head are in the spotlight today. A moderate rip current risk is in effect from eight AM this morning through this evening, so use caution if you're heading into the water. Expect two to four foot surf with partly sunny skies and a high temperature in the upper 50s. North winds will be light at ten to fifteen miles per hour. Water temperatures remain chilly in the lower 50s. High tide at Duck Pier comes in at 10:57 in the morning with a height of 2.7 feet, and low tide hits at 4:50 in the afternoon. Tuesday looks similar with moderate rip currents still possible and two to four foot waves continuing. Temperatures will warm slightly to the lower 60s. Moving down to Hatteras Island, conditions vary depending on your location. North of Cape Hatteras, the moderate rip current risk applies today with three to four foot surf and stronger north winds at fifteen to twenty miles per hour. If you're south of Cape Hatteras near Frisco or Hatteras Village, the rip current risk drops to low with two to three foot waves. Water here is noticeably warmer in the lower 60s. Tuesday brings mostly cloudy skies with moderate rip currents persisting north of the cape and light northerly winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour. Ocracoke Island is looking pretty solid with low rip current risk both days and two to three foot surf today. It'll be breezy this morning with north winds around twenty five miles per hour before settling down to fifteen in the afternoon. By tomorrow, expect around two foot waves under mostly cloudy skies. Heading south to East Carteret and Cape Lookout, low rip current risk applies across Core Banks and Shackleford Banks today. You're looking at two to three foot surf on Core Banks with one to two foot waves at Shackleford. Northeast winds at fifteen to twenty miles per hour and mostly cloudy conditions round out the forecast. Water temperatures are pleasant in the upper 60s. West Carteret beaches including Fort Macon, Atlantic Beach, and Emerald Isle are mellow with low rip current risk and one to two foot surf. Northeast winds stay light at ten to fifteen miles per hour with mostly cloudy skies. Tuesday warms to the mid 60s with similar small surf. Finally, Coastal Onslow near Hammocks Beach and North Topsail Beach rounds out our forecast with low rip current risk and around two foot waves. Mostly cloudy conditions early clearing to partly sunny. Northeast winds ten to fifteen miles per hour. Tuesday will be mostly cloudy with temperatures climbing to the upper 60s. Overall, it's a decent spring day at the beach with moderate conditions in the Outer Banks and generally mellow surf south of there. Just keep an eye on those rip currents, particularly in the northern areas. Get out there and enjoy the water re

Good morning! Here's your surf zone forecast for North Carolina's Outer Banks this Sunday and Monday. Starting with today, we're looking at mostly sunny conditions through late afternoon, then clouds will move in with a moderate chance of showers and thunderstorms developing later this evening. Southwest winds will be steady at fifteen to twenty miles per hour, pushing temperatures into the mid seventies. Water temperatures vary along the coast, ranging from the lower fifties up in the Northern Outer Banks to the mid sixties down around Ocracoke Island. Surf conditions today will be modest, with most areas seeing waves in the two to four foot range. The Northern Outer Banks will see the smallest surf at two to three feet, while Hatteras Island and the areas around Ocracoke and Cape Lookout will see slightly better conditions with three to four feet. If you're thinking about getting in the water, just be aware that rip current risks are elevated. The Northern Outer Banks have a low risk, but everywhere else from Hatteras Island south through Coastal Onslow is under a moderate rip current risk that remains in effect through this evening. So stay vigilant out there and always swim near lifeguards if they're available. Looking ahead to Monday, conditions will improve and settle down nicely. The thunderstorm threat goes away entirely, and we'll see mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies depending on where you are. Winds will shift out of the north and northeast, generally running ten to twenty miles per hour and easing as the day progresses. Temperatures will cool noticeably, dropping into the upper fifties and lower sixties across the region. Surf conditions Monday will be fairly consistent with today, holding steady in the two to four foot range. The rip current risk continues at moderate levels across most of the forecast area, so that same caution applies. Water temperatures won't change much, so dress appropriately if you're planning extended water time. Monday looks like your best bet if you're looking to get out and enjoy the ocean this weekend. You'll have calmer conditions without the thunderstorm threat, though it'll be a bit cooler and windier than today. Either way, respectable waves and stable conditions should make for a solid couple of days at the beach. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Good morning, this is your National Weather Service surf zone forecast for the North Carolina Outer Banks, brought to you Saturday, April fourth at four oh eight AM. We're starting the day with moderate rip current risks in effect through this evening across all forecast zones. That's something to keep an eye on if you're planning to get in the water today. Looking at the Northern Outer Banks, including Duck, Kitty Hawk, and Nags Head, expect mostly sunny skies with surf heights running two to three feet. Water temperatures are chilly, sitting in the lower fifties, so you might want to consider a wetsuit. Winds will be light, coming from the south around ten miles per hour. High temperatures should reach the upper seventies, making for a nice day overall despite the cool water. High UV index, so sunscreen is definitely recommended. Down in Hatteras Island, conditions are similar with sunny skies and three foot surf across both the northern and southern portions of Cape Hatteras. The water is a bit warmer here in the lower sixties. Southwest winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour will keep things pleasant. Moderate rip current risks continue in effect for both areas. Ocracoke Island is looking sunny with three foot surf and moderate rip currents. Water temperature in the mid sixties with light to moderate southwest winds. Over at East Carteret and Cape Lookout National Seashore, moderate rip current risks are in effect with three foot surf at Core Banks and around two feet at Shackleford Banks. Conditions are sunny and pleasant with light southwest winds. West Carteret, including Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach, expect mostly sunny skies with two to three foot surf and moderate rip currents through the evening. High temperatures near the lower seventies. And finally, Coastal Onslow, including North Topsail Beach, will see mostly sunny conditions with two to three foot surf and moderate rip current risks in effect. Now looking ahead to Sunday, things get a bit more interesting. A system is moving in that will increase surf and rip current risks across the board. The Northern Outer Banks will see mostly sunny skies until two PM, then clouds increase with showers likely. Surf stays two to three feet, but rip current risk drops to low. Winds increase from the south at fifteen to twenty miles per hour. High near the lower seventies. Hatteras Island becomes the hotspot on Sunday. North of Cape Hatteras, moderate rip currents continue with two to four foot surf. But south of Cape Hatteras, rip current risk jumps to high with three to five foot surf expected. That's a significant change from today, so swimmers and surfers need to be extra cautious in that area.

Well folks, it's official. As we head into November, the National Weather Service in Newport and Morehead City is hanging up the surfboard for the season. The Surf Zone Forecast is now discontinued across all North Carolina beaches, and it won't be making a comeback until mid April next year. That means if you're thinking about catching some waves along the Outer Banks, whether you're eyeing the breaks near Duck, Kitty Hawk, or Nags Head, you'll be on your own when it comes to detailed surf forecasts. The same goes for everyone down in Hatteras, Ocracoke, and all the way south to Onslow County. From Cape Lookout to North Topsail Beach, the official forecasting is taking a winter hibernation. Now, before you think you're completely left in the dark, there's still hope. The National Weather Service hasn't completely abandoned you. Tide and water temperature information is still available through the RDUTIDMHX product, so you can at least get a read on what's happening with the tides and how cold that Atlantic really is before you paddle out. So mark your calendars for mid April when the forecasts return. Until then, you'll need to rely on other sources, local knowledge, and maybe just checking the waves yourself to see what Mother Nature's cooking up. Stay safe out there, and we'll see you when the official forecasts come back. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Well, folks, the National Weather Service in Newport and Morehead City has made the official call, and it's time to put the surfboards in the garage for a while. As of this evening, the Surf Zone Forecast has been discontinued for the season across all our North Carolina beaches. This marks the end of another year of tracking swells, monitoring wind conditions, and keeping you updated on everything from the Northern Outer Banks down through the Coastal Onslow region. Whether you've been catching waves at Duck and Kitty Hawk, charging the sandbars off Hatteras Island, exploring the breaks near Cape Lookout, or enjoying the Atlantic Beach lineup, the forecast service is officially taking a break. The good news is that this seasonal shutdown is temporary. The Surf Zone Forecast will return in mid April of twenty twenty six, giving you plenty of time to wax your boards, repair any dings, and dream about those perfect autumn swells we've enjoyed. In the meantime, if you're looking for tide information or want to check water temperatures at your favorite beaches, head on over to the RDUTIDMHX product. That resource will continue to be updated and available throughout the winter months, so you'll still have some useful data if you're one of those hardy souls who ventures into the water during the colder season. Thanks for following along with us all season long. Stay safe out there, and we'll see you back on the beach when spring arrives.

Well folks, it's official. As we head into November, the National Weather Service in Newport and Morehead City is putting the surfboards in the garage for the season. The Surf Zone Forecast is being discontinued effective immediately and won't be back until mid April next year. This seasonal shutdown applies to all the coastal zones we cover, from the Northern Outer Banks down through West Carteret. That means if you're in Duck, Nags Head, Hatteras Island, Ocracoke, Cape Lookout, or any of those beautiful beaches down to Hammocks Beach and North Topsail, you're looking at a winter without official daily surf guidance. But before you think you're completely in the dark, here's the good news. You can still get your tide and water temperature information by checking the RDUTIDMHX product. So if you're one of those hardy souls who likes to venture into the cold Atlantic during the off season, you'll have the data you need to stay safe. This is a pretty typical schedule for the North Carolina coast. The heavier storms of winter and spring, combined with fewer recreational swimmers and surfers hitting the water, mean the detailed daily forecasting just isn't as critical from November through April. Winter swells might be bigger, but they're fewer and farther between, and let's face it, the water temperature is going to test your commitment to the sport. So mark your calendars for mid April when these forecasts return. Until then, stay warm and stay safe out there. This is your seasonal wrap up from the National Weather Service Newport and Morehead City. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

While the detailed surf reports are taking a hibernation break until mid-April 2026, wave riders and coastal enthusiasts can still catch essential tide and water temperature intel through the RDUTIDMHX product. Picture it: Duck, Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, Hatteras Village, and all those sweet coastal spots from Cape Lookout to Atlantic Beach are going into their winter mode. The beaches of Rodanthe, Avon, Buxton, Emerald Isle, and North Topsail Beach might look a bit quieter, but they're still gorgeous and waiting for your winter adventures. This seasonal timeout doesn't mean the coast goes silent. It's actually a perfect time for beach walks, storm watching, and dreaming about those summer swells. Local marine enthusiasts can still track water conditions and plan their springtime returns. So whether you're a hardcore surfer, a beach wanderer, or just someone who loves the coastal vibe, keep your connection to these beautiful shorelines. The waves might be resting, but the ocean's story continues, even in the quiet winter months. Stay salty, stay stoked, and we'll catch you when the surf zone forecasts roll back in mid-April!
