A sometimes-blank sand-and-rock strand at the mouth of Cape Fear where northeast groundswells and west offshore breezes occasionally produce fast, left-leaning beachbreaks with rocky hazards near the fort. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Fort Fisher in North Carolina.
Forecast
As of:
Best sessions are driven by longer-period NE groundswells with light W-NW offshore winds.
Low to mid tides usually clean up the banked lefts but the exact peak shifts day-to-day with sandbar movement.
The Fort Fisher shoreline hides a scattering of rocks near the old fort and The Rocks, so takeoffs near the north end can carry higher consequence.
Parking is easy with large state-park lots but crowds concentrate where peaks form.
Stop guessing and start surfing. WaveWise analyzes live data to find your best upcoming sessions so you spend less time planning and more time paddling out.
