Surf's up, beach lovers! We're looking at some serious wave action along the Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia coastlines today.
If you're thinking about hitting the water, listen up because the rip currents are no joke. We've got a high rip current risk through late tonight, so experienced surfers and swimmers only. The surf is pumping with waves between 4 to 5 feet, perfect for those looking to catch some serious rides.
The weather is absolutely pristine - sunny skies until late afternoon when it'll turn partly cloudy. Temperatures will cruise into the upper 70s with southwest winds blowing at 10 to 15 miles per hour. Water temperatures are sitting between 60 to 65 degrees, so you'll want a light wetsuit.
Beach goers take note - the UV index is high, so slather on that sunscreen. The tides are looking good with low points in the morning and high tide midday. Jacksonville Beach, Fernandina, St. Augustine, and Vilano Beach all have similar tide schedules.
Tomorrow brings slightly calmer conditions with the rip current risk dropping to moderate. Surf will remain around 4 to 5 feet, but temperatures will cool down to the lower 60s with north winds taking over.
Looking ahead to the weekend, expect smaller waves around 2 to 3 feet and sunny skies. Monday might bring a chance of showers with temperatures climbing back into the upper 70s.
Stay safe, watch those rip currents, and enjoy the beautiful coastal conditions!
