Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a day of coastal adventure along the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches. The surf zone is serving up a moderate rip current risk, so keep your wits about you and watch those sneaky underwater currents.
Wave riders can expect a sweet 2 to 3 foot surf rolling in from the northeast, with winds around 15 to 20 miles per hour keeping things interesting. The water's looking chilly but not freezing - temperatures range from the lower 60s to upper 60s depending on your exact location.
If you're planning a beach day, pack for mostly cloudy conditions with just a hint of potential rain, especially down near Atlantic City and Ocean City. The UV index is sitting at moderate, so grab that sunscreen and a light jacket.
Tide watchers, mark your calendars! High tides are hitting early morning - Cape May's looking at 7:17 AM, Barnegat Inlet at 6:51 AM, and Rehoboth Beach at 6:52 AM. Low tides will follow around midday.
Temperature-wise, expect a comfortable day in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Sunrise kicks off around 6:50 AM, with sunset painting the sky at about 6:45 PM.
A heads up for beach enthusiasts - this is the final surf zone forecast of the 2024 season. So whether you're a surfer, swimmer, or just a beach lover, make these last moments count. Stay safe, watch those rip currents, and enjoy the maritime magic of the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches!
