Ahoy there, surfers and beachgoers! Welcome to your Texas surf zone forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi. Let's dive into the latest wave of information to keep you riding smoothly on those salty swells.
Today along the Kleberg Islands and Nueces Islands, we're looking at a low rip current risk, surf heights between 2 to 3 feet, and a high chance of thunderstorms. So grab your board, keep an eye on the skies for those thunder boomers, and enjoy the mid 80s water temperature.
Tonight, expect a low rip current risk, around 2 feet of surf, and more chances of showers and storms under mostly cloudy skies. The party doesn't stop with south winds cruising around 10 mph.
As we slide into Friday, the rip current risk stays low, surf stays around 2 feet, and there's a moderate chance of thunderstorms. Remember your sunscreen with the UV index high, and brace for a max heat index up to 100. South winds are still the life of the party at 10 mph.
And looking ahead to the weekend, anticipate similar conditions with surf heights sticking around 2 to 3 feet, more clouds than a magician's hat, and showers likely with thunderstorms dancing in the mix. The winds will be playing along from the southeast at around 10 to 15 mph.
Remember, in the surf zone, rip currents can sneak up on you, so stay cautious even when the risk is low. Be mindful of those groins, jetties, reefs, and piers where life-threatening currents can lurk.
So pack your board, your sense of adventure, and your raincoat—looks like we're in for a wild ride on the Texas waves this week. Catch you out there, surfers!
