Surf's up, beach lovers! The National Weather Service is dropping the final surf zone forecast for the 2024 season, and it's looking like a mixed bag of maritime magic.

Heads up, Jersey Shore and Delaware beach crew - we're riding moderate rip current conditions today. Those northeast winds are cranking around 15 to 20 miles per hour, which means you'll want to keep your wits about you in the water.

Surf height is holding steady at 2 to 3 feet across all zones - from Sandy Hook to Atlantic City, Long Beach Island to Rehoboth Beach. Not epic swells, but definitely enough to get some decent rides.

Temperature-wise, we're looking at a crisp autumn day. Coastal areas will see highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s, with water temperatures ranging from the lower 60s to lower 70s depending on your specific beach location.

Skies will be mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain in some areas - particularly around Atlantic City, Cape May, and Delaware beaches. A few scattered clouds might try to crash our beach party, but nothing serious is brewing.

UV index is sitting at moderate, so sunscreen is still your friend. Those rays can be sneaky this time of year.

Pro tip: Pay extra attention around jetties, groins, and piers where rip currents can be tricky. The moderate risk means you'll want to stay alert and swim smart.

One last call for the 2024 beach season - Tuesday, October 1st marks our official farewell. So grab your board, your towel, and soak up these final moments of coastal autumn magic.

Catch you on the waves, beach warriors!
