New Jersey and Delaware Surf Report for 05-24-2025


Listen Later

Hey beach lovers! Get ready for a stellar weekend along the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches. Today's looking like a perfect day to catch some rays with mostly sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the mid-60s. But surfers and swimmers should pay attention - we've got a moderate rip current risk, so stay alert out there!

West winds will be whipping around 15 to 20 miles per hour, creating some choppy conditions. The surf's sitting at a modest 1 to 2 feet, which means smaller waves but still enough action to keep things interesting. Water temperatures are hanging in the mid-50s, so you'll want a wetsuit if you're planning to dive in.

The UV index is cranking up to high, so sunscreen is your best friend today. Pro tip: reapply every couple of hours to avoid turning into a human lobster! Sunrise kicks off early at around 5:30 AM, giving you plenty of daylight to enjoy the beach.

Tides will be dancing their usual rhythm - low tide hits mid-morning around 11:30 AM at most spots, with high tide rolling in during the late afternoon. Belmar, Atlantic City, and Cape May will see their high tides between 5:40 and 6:00 PM.

Looking ahead to Sunday, conditions mellow out with a low rip current risk and slightly warmer temperatures creeping into the upper 60s. Winds will calm down a bit, and you'll still catch plenty of sunshine - though clouds might start rolling in later in the afternoon.

Bottom line: It's shaping up to be a gorgeous beach weekend. Just remember to stay safe, watch those rip currents, and soak up the Jersey Shore magic!
