Calling all sun seekers and wave riders - we've got a stellar Saturday on tap with plenty of sunshine and some interesting coastal dynamics. The entire coastline is sitting under a moderate rip current risk through this evening, so swim smart and stay alert.
Water temperatures are warming up nicely into the mid to lower 70s, making for some delightful ocean conditions. Expect surf heights around 2 to 3 feet, perfect for casual board riding or just enjoying some playful waves. The UV index is cranking up to very high, so sunscreen is definitely your best friend today.
Wind patterns will be predominantly from the north, blowing 10 to 15 miles per hour and shifting west in the afternoon. Temperatures will cruise comfortably in the mid to upper 70s, delivering that classic beach day vibe.
For our Sunday forecast, things are looking even mellower. Rip current risks will drop to low across most areas, with surf heights staying around 2 feet. There's a slight chance of showers and partly sunny skies, so pack a light jacket just in case.
Tidal movements are looking robust with high tides ranging from 1.8 to 5.6 feet across different locations. Check your local tide charts for precise times at your specific beach.
Beach safety tip of the day: Always respect the ocean, watch for warning flags, and never swim alone. Stay hydrated, have fun, and enjoy those beautiful North Carolina coastal vibes!
