Today's looking mostly sunny with a moderate rip current risk that demands your respect. Waves are rolling in at 2 to 3 feet - perfect for intermediate surfers and beach enthusiasts. Water temperatures are sitting pretty between 75 and 80 degrees, making for some seriously comfortable ocean time.
North winds around 10 to 15 miles per hour will keep things interesting, and don't be surprised by some pop-up thunderstorms. The UV index is cranked up to very high, so slather on that sunscreen, beach warriors! Temperatures will dance in the mid-80s, creating that classic summer playground.
Tide watchers, mark your calendars. From Fernandina Beach to St. Augustine, low tides will hit mid-morning, with high tides rolling in around 5:30 PM. Plan your beach day accordingly!
Sunday's forecast kicks it up a notch. Expect surf heights climbing to 3 to 4 feet with a higher thunderstorm potential. The heat index could reach a scorching 102 degrees, so hydration is key. Southwest winds will be lighter, around 5 to 10 miles per hour.
Looking ahead, Monday through Wednesday promise consistent conditions - mostly sunny with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Surf heights will mellow out to 1 to 2 feet, perfect for casual beach time and beginner wave riders.
A word to the wise: while these beaches are calling your name, always respect the water. Those rip currents are no joke, so stay alert, swim near lifeguards, and when in doubt, don't go out!
Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy your beach weekend!
