Surfers and beach lovers, get ready for a stellar coastal adventure along Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia!
Today's looking like a sun-soaked paradise with southwest winds dancing around 5 mph and temperatures climbing into the lower 70s. Water temperatures are hovering between 57 and 62 degrees - might want that spring wetsuit. The surf is serving up a solid 2 to 3 foot wave height with a moderate rip current risk, so stay alert out there.
Beach warriors in Jacksonville and St. Augustine can catch morning high tides around 8:30 AM, with low tides rolling in mid-afternoon. The UV index is screaming very high, so slather on that sunscreen unless you want to look like a boiled lobster.
Heading into Friday, expect similar vibes but with a slight wind shift. North winds will transition to easterly breezes in the afternoon, keeping wave heights compact at 1 to 2 feet. The rip current risk remains moderate, so keep those eyes peeled and respect the ocean's power.
Weekend warriors should mark their calendars for some serious swell action. Saturday brings 3 to 4 foot waves with southeast winds, and temperatures climbing to the upper 70s. Sunday cranks it up with 4 to 5 foot waves, a potential shower party, and temperatures sliding into the lower 80s.
Monday brings a cool down with northwest winds and surf around 3 to 4 feet - perfect for those who like their waves with a side of crisp air.
Remember surfers: check local conditions, respect the beach, and ride safe!
