Surf's up, beach lovers! The National Weather Service is serving up a mixed bag of conditions for our coastal crew from Sandy Hook to Delaware as we wrap up the 2024 surf forecast season.
If you're planning to hit the waves, prepare for a moderately spicy day with northeast winds howling around 15 to 20 miles per hour. Surf heights are holding steady at 2 to 3 feet across all zones, perfect for intermediate riders looking for some playful action.
Water temperatures are dancing between the lower 60s and lower 70s, so grab that wetsuit or rash guard. The UV index is sitting at moderate, so sunscreen is your best friend today - protect that beautiful skin!
Each region's got its own flavor: Eastern Monmouth is looking partly sunny with temps in the upper 60s, while Long Beach Island and Atlantic City are trending mostly cloudy. The Delaware beaches are bringing a slight chance of rain to the party, keeping things interesting.
Rip current risk is moderate across the board, which means stay alert! These sneaky underwater currents can turn your beach day from awesome to dangerous in a heartbeat. Keep an eye on those groins, jetties, and piers where rip currents love to play.
High tides are rolling in during the morning hours - check your local spot. Sunrise is between 6:50 and 6:55 AM, with sunset following around 6:42 to 6:47 PM.
Heads up, wave riders - this is the final surf zone forecast for 2024. Stay safe, stay stoked, and catch those waves responsibly!
