Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for an epic day along the Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia coastline. Today's looking like a serious playground for wave riders and sun seekers, but with a serious side of caution.
The surf is churning up some exciting 3 to 4 foot waves that are calling all surfers and ocean enthusiasts. But listen up - we've got a high rip current risk that means you'll want to keep your wits about you in the water. Those southeast winds are cranking up from 10 to 15 miles per hour and climbing to around 15 to 20 mph by afternoon, which means some serious ocean action.
Water temperatures are sitting sweet between 66 and 71 degrees - not too shabby for early spring. The sky is serving up mostly sunny vibes with temperatures hovering right around 80 degrees. Pro tip: pack that sunscreen because the UV index is screaming very high today.
Beach hoppers, check your local tide charts. Whether you're catching waves at Jacksonville Beach, hanging in Fernandina, or chillin' at Vilano, you've got morning lows and afternoon highs to plan around. St. Augustine Beach is looking at a low tide around 8:11 AM and a high tide at 2:07 PM.
Saturday keeps the party rolling with a moderate rip current risk and slightly calmer 3 foot surf. Temperatures will nudge into the lower 80s with those persistent southeast winds hanging around 10 to 15 mph.
Looking ahead, Sunday brings more sunny skies and 3 to 4 foot surf. Monday might toss in a chance of showers, and Tuesday looks cooler with temps dropping to the upper 60s.
Bottom line: respect the ocean, watch those rip currents, and have an absolutely killer beach day!
