Forecast
As of:
When it does work the swell window runs from E-S with cleaner conditions on northerly onshore-to-offshore breeze.
Summer southern groundswell and longer-period SE energy produce the most consistent peaks, with low-mid tide often shaping better peaks.
Holden Beach can develop strong rips and shifting sandbars, so expect punchy, uneven peaks and shifting takeoff zones that favor local knowledge for positioning.
