Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a gnarly coastal forecast along Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.

Today's bringing a moderate rip current risk, so surfers and swimmers need to stay alert. We're looking at clean two-foot waves under gloriously sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the lower 70s. Water temps are hovering between 62 and 65 degrees - chilly but totally manageable.

The winds will start northwest around 5 mph and shift to a northeast to east flow around 10 mph by afternoon. Pro tip: those high tides are rolling in mid-morning, with Jacksonville Beach seeing its peak at 9:03 AM and St. Augustine Beach cresting at 9:06 AM.

Saturday continues the moderate rip current warning with slightly bigger surf - expect 2 to 3 foot waves. Patchy morning fog will burn off to mostly sunny conditions and temperatures climbing into the upper 70s. Southeast winds will kick up to 10-15 mph, adding some extra texture to those waves.

Looking ahead, Sunday gets interesting with 3 to 4 foot surf, mostly cloudy skies, and potential showers. Monday cools down with sunny conditions and waves around 2 to 3 feet, while Tuesday brings 3 to 4 foot surf under bright sunshine.

Remember beach warriors: respect the water, watch for rip currents, and soak up that very high UV index. Stay safe and catch some epic waves!
