Wrightsville Beach can get downright hot during summer, with average temperatures hitting the high 80s. This sweltering heat attracts the most visitors, but it's also good to know summer coincides with the Atlantic hurricane season, which peaks from mid-August until October, so things may get a little blustery. You'll find the lowest prices when booking Wrightsville Beach vacation rentals during the spring and fall, when temperatures are more pleasant. During winter, lows will dip down to 34°F, but there's only an inch of snow annually, so sorry folks, no snowmen.
