South Onslow - New Hanover Forecast
Mike Watson •Today
Surf is easing but still some knee-thigh high surf around. Waist peaks Topsail zone.
Dawn-Midday Outlook: Starring as we have small but clean surf for the bigger boards. We start to see surf heights ease some during the day. Most size is first thing, so would target the AM if looking to get wet. Clean with NW/NNW winds.
