Itʻs not looking very appealing today. Onshores are strong, and its borderline victory at sea conditions. If the wind backs off there is a stomach/chest high wave out there. Maybe this evening/tomorrow morning? An otherwise beautiful day on the beach. Plenty of sun.

Tide is up and the wind is blowing steady out of the north, but there is still a thigh high wave breaking. Looks like a decent amount of drift too, but there might be a decent wave to ride around low tide. Evening session maybe? Have fun if you paddle out.

North wind and a heavy tide. If you know of a good high tide sand bar that is probably your best bet. Iʻm going back to sleep if I can.

The tide is dropping out, and the south wind is still pretty light. Not glassy by any means, but the waist high sets are pretty readable. Yet another insanely nice day for hanging out on the beach as well.

2009-05-07T13:47:00.002-04:00

A decent wave coming in today. The south winds are chopping it up and making some drift, but there are some fun waves to be had. Thinking about getting some more myself.

yes, I know I have a spot on my lense. I thought I cleaned it after this morning.

morning surf report Carolina Beach

2009-05-07T06:34:00.002-04:00

Lots of tide covering the thigh/waist/bigger?? waves right now. The ones that do break are closing out somehow. Plenty of south wind to start out the day too making the surface choppy. Might be fun at a lower tide?

surf report Carolina Beach

2009-05-06T11:42:00.003-04:00

More south wind swell again today. If you want to call waist high sets a swell that is. Where we live I guess it counts as one. Looks as though the lower tide has the bigger waves closing out, but as it fills back in this afternoon, they should have more of a line.

schedule your session now...

Lots of rain down here this morning. I tried to get photos sooner, but didnʻt even make it across the street to the access before it started pouring. The waves are maybe thigh high and the wind is out of the SE. I know the photos of the surf make it look like itʻs just cloudy so I threw in one showing whatʻs on the horizon. Low tide is around 11 today, so it should be breaking for a while I guess. Have fun if you surf.

2009-05-04T10:48:00.002-04:00

Another day of strong south winds. The rights are rolling down the beach, along with the drift. Looks like most sets are in the waist/stomach high range. Really warm weather today too. Have fun if you surf.

morning surf report Carolina Beach

2009-05-03T11:01:00.002-04:00

Another nice day to hang out on the beach, but the surf is leaving a lot to be desired. Itʻs about thigh high, maybe a bigger set here and there. The South winds are really chopping it up though and it looks like the drift is on. The tide is still pretty low though so if youʻre fiending for some waves you can definitely get some.

what a day

2009-05-02T19:58:00.002-04:00

a thigh high wave is coming in S/SW winds are light keeping it pretty clean. the water is finally warm enough to wear shorts on the hot days. Itʻs looking pretty muddy today though. the forecasts are showing some decent size in the next few days.

some people are put in your life to test you

I didn't include the word surf in the title, because there isn't any. It is going to another great beach day, or it already is for that matter. I hope you get the chance to enjoy it. Going to ride the bike and see if there are any high tide options on the island these days. I took a bunch of shore break photos for you. Here they are:

2009-04-21T11:45:00.002-04:00

Not quite like it was this morning, but still a decent wave coming in. I guess it is about waist high on the sets with a south wind putting a side shore bump on it. Incredible spring day down here. I am thinking that this evening will probably be fun. Low tide was about an hour ago I think.

morning surf report Carolina Beach

2009-04-19T08:16:00.001-04:00

Not a whole lot going on in the water today. Maybe knee high, and glassy, but inconsistent. The tide is still dropping so maybe it will be a little bit better a dead low. The wind is light out of the SW. The forecasts are calling for it to pick up so I'm sure it will at some point. Another beautiful spring day on hand regardless. I hope you get to enjoy it.

morning surf report Carolina Beach

2009-04-18T06:41:00.002-04:00

Fun little wave coming in the morning. About waist high I guess. Definitely worth paddling out if you can. The tide is going out, but it should be pretty fun as long as the wind stays off of it.

morning surf report Carolina Beach

2009-04-17T10:31:00.002-04:00

There is a little more size to the waves today, but a lot of north wind to deal with as well. If the wind backs off it could be fun. I guess the sets are about waist high or so, maybe a little bigger on occasion. Another spectacular day down here.

daily report

2009-04-16T16:27:00.004-04:00

I don't know. It's maybe thigh high sometimes-mostly in the knee high range, but the tide is still pretty high. If you have a longboard or a fish you might have fun before dark, but I wouldn't expect too much. Lots of north wind making it messy. It is a beautiful day to hang on the beach though.

morning surf report Carolina Beach

2009-04-15T06:48:00.002-04:00

Perfectly shaped waist/stomach high set waves coming in. Get in the water if you can. The winds are light offshore.

good morning

Been gone way too long. I feel like listening to Led Zeppelin and drinking a Sun Drop.

weird water today. looks waist high, mushy and closed out. I'll probably get in at some point today. the winds are pretty light right now.

the ocean is still there

2009-03-18T09:42:00.002-04:00

I woke up first thing, but it was cloudy and the tide was too low for this little swell, so no pictures from then. I missed the best wave that rolled in, I would say it was about chest high. Consistently thigh-waist high. Light NE winds making for decent conditions. Today is the only(decent) chance I will have to surf in the Atlantic this month. Take what you can get sometimes.

Gong up for another month of skating and working in NYC, I will be back on the 13th-14th of April. Please catch one or 10 for me.

sorry for the lack of updates

2009-02-17T08:47:00.003-05:00

Cold, and about the same size as yesterday evening, with a little more wind on it out of the north. Rideable surf for sure, just depends on how desperately you need a surf session. Should be breaking most of the day though.

oh yeah, it's always breaking in Raleigh now too, BRoE

afternoon surf report Carolina Beach

2009-02-16T14:23:00.002-05:00

The wind has turned a little more out of the NW now, and it's looking kinda fun. If the tide drop helps it there could be some lined up waist high waves to ride this afternoon. Looks like a decent amount of drift, but not too bad.

what did the penis say to the condom?

cover me, I'm going in

morning surf report Carolina Beach

2009-02-16T10:53:00.002-05:00

A lot of wind and a little wave. Knee to thigh high and steady NE winds. It may build up today, a real Nor'easter would be fun. Cold but pretty day down here.

REALLY APPEALING. if you like cold, mushy and choppy

afternoon surf report Carolina Beach

2009-02-12T15:36:00.002-05:00

Well, now with the dropping tide and even stronger offshores they are shaped perfectly. Breaking really fast though so getting in early is a big help. I'd say thigh high with an occasional waist high set. Have fun if you surf.

morning surf report Carolina Beach

2009-02-12T11:03:00.002-05:00

Between the offshore wind and the high tide it is dying fast. More of a thigh high shore break deal now. Still could be fun, but a bigger board would be a good idea. Insanely nice day for February.

morning surf report Carolina Beach

2009-02-12T06:59:00.002-05:00

Not quite what we were hoping for with the winds howling last night? There is a thigh/waist high wave coming in, but not as consistent as yesterday even. The tide is filling in, maybe the shore break will be better? The wind is light SW, so it's pretty clean. We'll see how it goes.

What happened to Nor'easters?

afternoon surf report Carolina Beach

2009-02-11T14:08:00.003-05:00

A lot different than the last day I was in town. The waves are thigh, maybe waist high. It's almost dead low tide, and the wind is steady out of the SW. A nice warm day and I am getting in the water for some liquid therapy asap.

you don't even know how sick it is right now...

2009-01-30T21:04:00.002-05:00

2009-01-20T12:19:00.003-05:00

Snow. The waves are about chest high and mushy. Semi clean from the NNW winds, but it looks like there is a decent amount of drift too. Things might be better later this afternoon, but it seems like one of those days that anybody can make the best guess. If you surf have fun.

Not quite what I was expecting. Strong north winds and knee high waves. Once in a while a bigger one or two will roll through, but definitely not consistent. Maybe later today will be better?

There is still a wave out there. The tide is definitely on it, but the thigh high waves are still pretty consistent. This is the best day for waves we have had in a while, crazy.

I just got out of the water and had a fun session on my longboard. Nice cruisy lines still coming in, but the wind has picked up out of the south. Still about thigh high with a bigger wave here and there. A beautiful morning for sure.

morning surf report Carolina Beach

2009-01-19T07:29:00.003-05:00

There is a knee/ thigh high wave in the water this morning. The offshore winds are keeping it smoooth and the pushing tide should help to fill in the ones that are closing out. Looks better than it did all weekend.

sorry for the late report. I am hibernating today. There is a thigh, maybe occasional waist high wave coming in. The north wind is putting a slight chop on the water, and the tide is making things mushy. It's so cold today the water will probably feel warm?

it's all yours.

Still small. The waves have perfect shape, but unless you're 6 inches tall the adrenaline factor is pretty low.

*side note* If you take your dog on the beach PLEASE be prepared to clean up after it. Dogs are known to occasionally poop more than once in a walking, so it might help to bring more than one bag as well. The beach is a beautiful place, let's keep it that way.

Not a lot going on this morning. The waves are glassy, but about knee high at best. Maybe if you have a high tide spot things will be better later this morning, but as of right now it's not looking too promising. Warmer start to the day though, so that's nice.

The winds have more west than north in them now, holding the waves up, but shrinking them a little too. I would say waist high one the sets. Great shape waves, but a standard short board might be too much work for too little reward. Pun intended.

The tide is dropping and the wind is picking up out of the south. Looks like knee high at best on the sets. Probably a better day to hang out on the beach, it is warm and sunny. You'll need a pretty big board if you want to ride these little waves standing up.

A nice groundswell line coming in today. It seems like the fog has finally burned off for good and with the dropping tide it should start to get fun. I guess its around waist/stomach with a rare chest high set. The SSW winds are light and giving enough texture to make the waves readable without bumping it up. If you haven't surfed it would be a good day to leave work early and give yourself something for the holidays. Not epic by any means, but it's going to hold through the day.

The swell charts are showing an increase in size with onshore winds this afternoon, so maybe just before dark will be fun.

That little groundswell from the forecast is starting to show. The tide is still winning right now. Hopefully the winds stay light, or at least offshore, and as the tide drops the swell should start to fill in. It's about thigh high I guess, but it should get bigger throughout the day. Looks like a great day to paddle off that big meal from yesterday.

Let me put it this way: I watched a pelican swim over the shoulder of a wave. Look for it in the photo. Pretty small when that can happen, huh? Hopefully we'll get another swell this weekend. Have a good Thanksgiving. I will post another update on Saturday.

There is a small wave out there. It's in the knee high size range and the offshore winds are giving it pretty good shape. FInding the right sand bar seems to be the key today. The sun is out though and if/when we do get waves again it will be nice to be in decent shape for it. Take out your biggest board, and a paddle if you have it.

A nice day on the beach, but not much in the way of surf. Knee high at best, and those only come around every 5-10 minutes. It's time to hit the skatepark again. Hopefully it's not as crowded as it was yesterday.

keep an eye on the forecasts

There is a small wave coming through. The wind isn't bumping ti up too bad either. If you wanted to surf graab the biggest board you have, and get on it now before the tide does.

uugghh

there are a few spots up and down the beach that are "breaking", but I wouldn't expect too much. It is cold too, reeeeeaaaaally cold. I'm going to find a book and read, crazy, I know. maybe there will be better conditions at low tide

There is a little wave left with the rising tide. It is pretty warm compared to the last few days too. If you find the right sand bar it could be fun. I WNW wind is keeping them clean without beating it down too bad.

The tide is dropping, and there is a knee high set rolling through every 5 minutes or so. It's mushy, but the winds have let up little. The cold is still here. There could be some fun if you're up for it.

YAAAY!!!

It's hard to tell what we have going on today, other than the fact the NNW wind has it feeling pretty cold. A pretty day, but the wave we have would be hard to ride on any board under 8 feet long. I am going skating.

AWWWWWW...

How can you get flatter than flat? Right now it doesn't look like a low tide will give us a wave today. The wind is strong out of the northwest and it is coooooooooooold. There is plenty of sun, but it isn't doing anything in the way of warming things up. Epic kite flying weather.

Not much going on today. It looks like there may be a wave to ride around low tide again today. The winds are light and variable. Low tide is just before dark today(4:46pm)

afternoon

2008-11-16T12:17:00.001-05:00

pretty flat. There is a small line showing, but with the offshore winds it is hard to say whether or not there will be anything left to ride at low tide(3:48pm).

A steady south wind today. The waves are waist to chest high, and the drift looks like it's moving pretty quick. If the forecast holds true it may be pretty fun this afternoon just before dark. The water has cooled off a lot in the past week- come prepared.
