Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a sizzling day along the Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia coastline. Our waters are serving up some serious stoke with waves ranging from 2 to 4 feet that'll have surfers and swimmers buzzing with excitement.
For our Northeast Florida crew around Jacksonville and St. Augustine, expect a mostly sunny playground with temperatures cruising around 80 degrees. The morning starts with gentle west winds that'll shift to a southeast breeze by afternoon. Water temperatures are sitting pretty between 62 and 67 degrees - perfect for those who don't mind a little refreshing chill.
Heads up, ocean adventurers - we've got a moderate rip current risk today. Translation: stay alert and swim smart near those jetties and piers. The UV index is blazing at very high, so sunscreen is your best friend. There's a slight chance of pop-up showers and thunderstorms, but nothing that'll crash your beach party.
Tide schedule highlights include high tides rolling in mid-morning across locations like Vilano Beach, St. Augustine, and Jacksonville Beach. Fernandina Beach and Mayport are also getting their tide on around 11:30 AM.
Heading into Wednesday, expect similar vibes with consistent 3 to 4 foot surf and southeast winds picking up to 10 to 15 mph. The extended forecast promises sunny skies, temperatures in the lower 80s, and waves that'll keep wave riders grinning.
Our Georgia coast friends around Brunswick and St. Simons can expect slightly smaller 2 to 3 foot waves with equally epic conditions. Water temperatures are a bit cooler at 57 to 62 degrees, but still totally manageable.
Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy your beach day!
