Surf's up, beach lovers, but not in the way you might hope! The National Weather Service is sounding the alarm with a high rip current risk that'll keep you on the sand today. From Brooklyn to the Hamptons, our coastal zones are looking rough and tumble.

Expect cloudy skies with a chance of rain and winds whipping in from the east at 15 to 20 miles per hour. Surf heights are hovering around 3 to 4 feet, which might look tempting, but trust me, those waters are treacherous. Temperatures are hanging in the upper 60s, both in the air and water.

Listen up, beach-goers: today is NOT the day for a casual swim. The rip current risk is sky-high, meaning these currents could sweep you out faster than a seagull snatching your sandwich. Local beaches from Coney Island to Ditch Plains are under a serious warning until 6 PM.

If you're thinking about braving the waves, stop right there. The experts are crystal clear: stay out of the surf. Period. Those tides are pulling hard, with low tide hitting between 11:53 AM and 12:07 PM depending on your location.

Want to save the day? Grab a beach chair, pack a good book, and enjoy the moody coastal scenery. Sunrise was around 6:40-6:50 AM, and sunset's coming early at 6:36-6:44 PM. Consider this your official beach chill day - safety first, adventure second.

And a pro tip: these surf forecasts won't return until the 2025 Memorial Day weekend, so make your beach memories count - from a safe distance today!
