Catch a wave, beach lovers! It's Monday morning, and the surf's looking like a moody mix of clouds and potential along the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches.

Surf's up with 2 to 3 foot waves rolling in across the coast, driven by northeast winds blowing a solid 15 to 20 miles per hour. Heads up, wave riders - we've got a moderate rip current risk, so stay alert and swim smart near those jetties and piers.

Water temperatures are hanging in the sweet spot from the upper 60s to lower 70s, depending on your exact beach location. From Sandy Hook down to Cape May and over to Rehoboth, you'll find a consistent forecast painting a picture of mostly cloudy skies with just a hint of rain potential.

The UV index is sitting at moderate, so sunscreen is still your beach buddy. Expect highs hovering in the upper 60s to lower 70s - not too shabby for the tail end of September.

Early birds can catch some sweet sunrise moments between 6:50 and 6:55 AM, with sunset painting the sky around 6:42 to 6:47 PM. High tides are rolling in during the morning hours, with lows hitting midday across all beach zones.

A quick pro tip - this is the last surf zone forecast of the 2024 season, so soak up these final beach moments before we wave goodbye to summer.

Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy the waves!
