Hey beach lovers and wave chasers! Get ready for a sizzling day along the Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia coastline. Today's surf scene is serving up some serious heat both in and out of the water.
We're looking at a moderate rip current risk, so surfers and swimmers need to stay alert. Waves are sitting pretty at 1 to 2 feet - perfect for casual paddling but not exactly epic surf conditions. Water temperatures are running a comfortable 75 to 80 degrees along the Florida coast and 72 to 77 degrees in Georgia.
Expect mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s, pushing heat indices up to a scorching 107 degrees. Talk about beach day intensity! Today's UV index is very high, so sunscreen is your best friend. Pro tip: reapply frequently and seek shade when possible.
Wind patterns will start west around 5 mph, then shift southeast in the afternoon. Tides are looking predictable with low points ranging from 8:41 to 9:12 AM and high tides between 2:47 and 3:19 PM across our beautiful beach zones from Fernandina to St. Augustine.
Wednesday brings a slight temperature drop with highs in the lower 90s and a hint of potential afternoon showers. Rip current risk decreases to low, and winds will blow steady from the west around 10 mph.
Looking ahead to Thursday through Saturday, expect consistent 1 to 2 foot surf, mostly sunny conditions, and temperatures holding in the mid to upper 80s. Winds will play around 5 to 10 mph from various directions.
Stay safe, stay hydrated, and enjoy that gorgeous coastal paradise!
