Hang onto your surfboards, beach lovers! The Atlantic coast is serving up some wild weather this weekend.
Starting in North Carolina, Pender County's beaches like Surf City and Topsail are looking at a soggy Saturday with mostly cloudy skies and scattered thunderstorms. Surf will be mellow around 2 feet with southeast winds dancing around 5 mph. Water temps are sitting pretty in the upper 70s, but don't let that fool you - the waterspout and thunderstorm potential is moderate.
Sliding down to New Hanover County, Wrightsville and Carolina Beach are experiencing similar conditions. Expect 1 to 2 foot waves today, gradually building to 1 to 3 feet tomorrow. The UV index is moderate, so sunscreen is your friend even with the cloud cover.
Brunswick County beaches like Oak Island and Sunset Beach are in for a treat with slightly higher surf - 2 to 4 feet west of Ocean Isle Beach. Temperatures will hover in the lower 80s today, dropping to upper 70s by Sunday.
The real action kicks in Monday through Wednesday when a brewing storm system will amp up surf conditions dramatically. Expect increasing wave heights from 4 to 8 feet along the Carolina and South Carolina coastlines. Rip current risks will escalate from moderate to high, so swimmers and surfers need to stay alert.
By Wednesday, winds will be howling around 30 mph, creating epic but dangerous surf conditions from Myrtle Beach to Pawleys Island. Meteorologically speaking, it's about to get wild out there!
Stay safe, stay informed, and catch those waves wisely.
