Hey surf tribe! It's your beach buddy with the lowdown on our coastal conditions for Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.

Surf's looking pretty sweet today with 2 to 3 foot waves rolling in from the southeast at a gentle 5 to 10 mile per hour breeze. Water temps are sitting pretty between 72 and 77 degrees - perfect for catching some waves or just chilling on the beach.

Listen up though - we've got a moderate rip current risk today. That means you'll want to keep your wits about you in the water. Those invisible water highways can get tricky, so swim near a lifeguard and watch those currents.

The UV index is cranked up to very high, so sunscreen is not just recommended - it's mandatory. Slather it on thick and often. We're looking at mostly sunny skies with temperatures hanging around 80 degrees - basically postcard perfect beach weather.

Tide schedule is looking smooth. If you're near Jacksonville Beach, high tide hits at 11:40 AM, with low tide rolling in at 5:41 PM. Vilano and St. Augustine beaches have similar vibes.

Friday's forecast is holding steady with similar conditions - moderate rip current risk, 2 to 3 foot surf, and those sweet southeast winds picking up slightly to 10 to 15 miles per hour.

Weekend outlook? Saturday brings a chance of showers with temperatures climbing into the mid 80s. Sunday gets a bit more interesting with likely showers and potential thunderstorms.

Bottom line: Grab your board, your sunscreen, and your stoke - it's gonna be a beautiful beach day!

Stay safe, stay salty!
