Let's dive right in. Today's looking like a perfect beach day with surf heights running a solid 2 to 3 feet along Jacksonville and St. Augustine beaches. The water's sitting pretty at a comfortable 77 to 82 degrees - prime swimming temperature. Winds will be cruising in from the east at 5 to 10 mph, keeping things breezy but not wild.
Heads up beach lovers - we've got an extreme UV index, so slather on that sunscreen unless you want to look like a lobster by sunset. The heat index will push close to 100 degrees, so hydration is key.
Rip current risk is moderate today, which means stay alert and swim smart. Those sneaky underwater currents can catch even experienced swimmers off guard.
Looking ahead to Monday, expect similar conditions with a twist - there's a moderate chance of afternoon thunderstorms rolling through. The surf will hold steady at 2 to 3 feet, and temperatures will climb even higher with a heat index potentially hitting 102.
For our Georgia coast friends around Brunswick and St. Simons, you're looking at slightly smaller 1 to 2 foot waves, but equally gorgeous beach weather. Water temps are a touch cooler at 75 to 80 degrees.
The extended forecast promises continued sunshine and summer vibes through Thursday, with surf heights settling around 1 to 2 feet and temperatures holding strong in the upper 80s.
Bottom line: It's beach season, people - get out there and enjoy it! Just remember your sunscreen, stay hydrated, and respect the ocean.
