Surf's up, beach lovers! The National Weather Service is dropping some serious wave wisdom for our coastal crew from Topsail to Pawleys Island.
If you're planning to hit the beaches today, buckle up for a wild ride. We're looking at moderate rip current risks that'll keep lifeguards on their toes. Surf heights are dancing between 1 to 3 feet - perfect for some casual boarding or just catching some coastal vibes.
The weather's serving up a spicy forecast with partly sunny skies and a high chance of pop-up thunderstorms. Those northeast winds around 10 mph will be keeping things interesting, creating a moderate north to south longshore current that'll challenge even seasoned swimmers.
Water temps are sitting pretty in the lower 80s, which means maximum comfort for beach bums and water warriors. But here's the real talk - the UV index is screaming very high, so sunscreen is not just recommended, it's mandatory unless you want to look like a lobster by sunset.
Tidal rhythms are also in play. For Topsail and Wilmington beaches, expect high tides in the early morning around 6:20-6:31 AM, with low tides hitting midday. Myrtle Beach and Georgetown zones follow similar patterns.
Waterspout risk is moderate, so keep those eyes on the horizon and be ready to scoot if things get funky. Friday's looking even more electrifying with higher thunderstorm potential and slightly choppier surf.
Weekend warriors can expect similar conditions - mostly partly sunny with scattered showers and a persistent chance of thunderstorms. Rip current risks will fluctuate, so stay alert and listen to local lifeguards.
Stay safe, stay stoked, and ride those waves responsibly!
