Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a sizzling day along the Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia coastline. Today's bringing some serious wave action with surf heights reaching 3 to 4 feet, so surfers and water enthusiasts better pay attention.
We've got a high rip current risk in play, which means extra caution is the name of the game. Those powerful undertows are no joke, so swim smart and stay close to lifeguard stations. The water's sitting pretty at a comfortable 75 degrees - perfect for catching some waves or cooling off.
Expect mostly sunny skies with a slight chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms. The UV index is cranked up to very high, so sunscreen is your best friend today. Temperatures will climb into the lower 80s with southwest winds dancing between 5 to 10 miles per hour.
Tide watchers, mark your calendars. Jacksonville Beach sees high tide at 9:14 AM, while St. Augustine Beach peaks at 9:24 AM. Fernandina Beach will hit its high point at 10:03 AM. Low tides roll in around 3:10 to 3:46 PM across various locations.
Looking ahead to Wednesday, things calm down slightly. Rip current risk drops to moderate, with surf heights mellowing to 2 to 3 feet. Expect sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the mid-80s. Winds will start west and shift to the south by afternoon.
The extended forecast promises more of that sweet summer weather - sunny days, temperatures pushing 90, and surf heights gradually decreasing. Thursday through Saturday look like perfect beach days with minimal wave action and plenty of sunshine.
