Surfers and beach lovers, listen up! The surf's calling and we've got the lowdown on today's coastal conditions along the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches.
Pack your board and sunscreen because we're looking at a moderate rip current risk across the coastline. Waves are rolling in at a solid 2 to 3 feet, perfect for some mid-level shredding. But watch those currents - they're no joke today.
The weather's playing it cool with mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance of rain in some spots. Temperatures are hanging in the lower 70s, so you'll want a light layer. Northeast winds are blowing strong at 15 to 20 miles per hour, which means choppy conditions for water enthusiasts.
Water temps are ranging from the lower 60s to lower 70s depending on your beach spot. Sandy Hook's looking at upper 60s, while Delaware beaches are sitting pretty in the lower 70s. The UV index is moderate, so don't forget that sunscreen.
High tide times are your maritime morning alarm - Belmar's hitting at 6:25 AM, Atlantic City at 6:43 AM, and Cape May chilling at 7:17 AM. Low tides follow around midday.
Sunrise and sunset are painting beautiful bookends to your day - between 6:50 and 6:55 AM for sunrise, and 6:42 to 6:47 PM for sunset.
Heads up beach warriors - this is the final surf zone forecast for the 2024 season. Tomorrow marks the official close, so make these last waves count! Stay safe, respect the ocean, and catch some epic rides.
