This weekend, Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia beaches are serving up some sizzling summer vibes. We're talking about surf conditions that'll have you reaching for your board and sunscreen.
Saturday's looking like a beach day with a twist. Expect small waves hovering around 1 to 2 feet - perfect for beginners and those looking to catch some mellow rides. But here's the heads up: rip currents are playing it moderate, so stay alert and watch those underwater channels.
The sun's turning up the heat with an extreme UV index, so slather on that sunscreen unless you want to look like a lobster. Temperatures will climb into the upper 80s, with heat indices potentially reaching a scorching 102 degrees. Winds will start southwest and shift southeast in the afternoon, keeping things interesting.
Water temperatures are sitting sweet between 75 and 80 degrees - basically paradise. Mostly sunny skies with a chance of pop-up thunderstorms will add some dramatic flair to your beach day.
Tide hunters, mark your calendars! High tides are rolling in mid-morning across spots like Jacksonville Beach, Vilano Beach, and St. Augustine Beach.
Sunday continues the summer party with similar conditions. Expect those 1 to 2 foot waves, moderate rip current risks, and a higher chance of thunderstorms. Temperatures remain consistently summer-like in the upper 80s.
Extended forecast promises more of the same tropical vibes through midweek - mostly sunny, scattered thunderstorms, and waves perfect for cruising.
Stay safe, stay cool, and catch those waves!
