Expect waves dancing between 2 to 4 feet with north winds pushing 10 to 15 miles per hour. Water temps are sitting cool at 60 to 65 degrees - perfect for wetsuit surfers and brave swimmers.
The UV index is cranking up to very high, so sunscreen is your best friend today. Temperatures will hover in the lower 60s, making for a crisp coastal experience. For tide watchers, Jacksonville Beach and Mayport will see low tide around 8 AM, with high tide rolling in around 2 PM.
Heading into Saturday, things mellow out a bit. Waves will calm down to 2 to 3 feet with gentle southwest winds around 5 mph. The temperature bumps up to the lower 70s, creating perfect conditions for beach lounging and casual water activities.
Our Georgia coastal friends in Glynn and Camden counties are seeing similar vibes - moderate rip current risk today with 2 to 3 foot waves and northwest winds. Water temperatures are slightly cooler at 55 to 60 degrees.
Looking ahead to the weekend and early next week, expect consistently sunny conditions with surf heights dropping to 1 to 2 feet. Monday might bring a slight chance of showers with temperatures climbing to the upper 70s.
