Tough morning up and down the Carolina coast — everything's sitting at a flat ★1 with short-period, wind-chopped slop dominating most breaks. If you're desperate to get wet, Avon Pier and Avalon Pier have the cleanest looks with offshore flow and a bit of period to work with, but don't get your hopes up. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so no meaningful improvement on the horizon — keep an eye on the long-range models and enjoy the offseason beach walks for now.
