Surf's up, beach lovers! Today's looking like a scorcher along the Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia coastlines. We're tracking a moderate rip current risk, so surfers and swimmers need to stay alert.

Expect waves rolling in at 2 to 3 feet for the Jacksonville beaches and 1 to 2 feet around the Georgia coast. The water's sitting sweet at a comfortable 76 to 82 degrees - perfect for cooling off from the intense heat.

Speaking of heat, we're looking at temperatures climbing into the upper 80s with heat indices potentially reaching a sizzling 106 degrees. Sunscreen is absolutely essential with that extreme UV index in play. Pro tip: reapply frequently and seek shade when possible.

Winds will be dancing south at 5 to 10 miles per hour, shifting to southeast and picking up to 10 to 15 miles per hour in the afternoon. Mostly sunny skies will welcome you, but don't be surprised by afternoon pop-up thunderstorms that might crash the beach party.

Tide watchers, take note: Morning low tides hit around 7:15 to 8:00 AM, with high tides rolling in between 1:30 and 2:30 PM across various beach locations.

For Wednesday, conditions remain similar - moderate rip current risk, 1 to 2 foot surf, and a slight chance of afternoon showers. Temperatures will hold steady in the upper 80s.

Looking ahead to Juneteenth and the weekend, expect consistent 1 to 2 foot surf, mostly sunny skies, and those classic summer afternoon thunderstorm possibilities. Stay hydrated, stay safe, and enjoy that beautiful coastline!
