Beach Lovers and Wave Watchers, here's your coastal pulse for Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia!
Calling all surfers, sunbathers, and sea enthusiasts: Today's looking like a picture-perfect beach day with mostly sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the mid 80s. The water's sitting at a delightful 75 to 80 degrees, practically begging you to dive in.
But listen up - we've got a moderate rip current risk today. Translation? Be smart, be aware, and keep those eyes on the water. Surf's running a mellow 1 to 2 feet, perfect for casual paddling and beginner wave riders.
Winds will start south and swing east in the afternoon, hovering around a gentle 5 miles per hour. Pro tip: The UV index is blazing hot, so slather on that sunscreen unless you want to glow like a lobster later.
Tide hunters, mark your watches! Low tides are rolling through mid-morning between 10:30 and 11:10, with high tides hitting late afternoon around 5 PM at spots like Vilano, St. Augustine, and Jacksonville Beach.
Wednesday's forecast gets spicier - expect partly sunny conditions with a high chance of thunderstorms. Surf's gonna bump up to 2 to 3 feet, so intermediate riders might find some playful waves. Winds will dance in from the southeast at 5 to 10 mph.
The extended outlook? More of the same tropical mood - partly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms through the weekend. Surf will maintain that 2 to 3 foot sweet spot.
Catch those waves safely, beach warriors!
