Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a sizzling Sunday along the Jersey Shore and Delaware coast, with conditions that are about to make your beach day epic.
Eastern Monmouth kicks things off with a mellow scene - we're talking small 1 to 2 foot waves and a low rip current risk. Temps climbing into the upper 80s with mostly sunny skies and just a whisper of potential afternoon thunderstorms. Southwest winds around 10 mph will keep things comfortable, and that UV index is cranked up to very high, so sunscreen is your best friend today.
Heading down to Long Beach Island and Atlantic City, things get a bit more exciting with moderate rip current risks and slightly larger 2 to 3 foot surf. The water's sitting in the lower 60s - might be a bit chilly for some, but perfect for adventurous swimmers. Expect southwest winds dancing between 10 to 15 mph and those gorgeous mid-80s temperatures.
Cape May and Ocean City are serving up similar vibes - moderate rip currents, 2 to 3 foot waves, and sunny skies until early afternoon. Water's warmer here in the upper 60s, and those southwest winds will keep you cool.
Delaware beaches round out our forecast with super chill conditions - low rip current risk, gentle 1 to 2 foot waves, and temperatures climbing toward 90 degrees. Sunny skies until late afternoon promise a perfect beach day.
Pro tip for all areas: while rip current risk is generally low, stay alert near jetties and piers. Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy that summer shoreline!
