Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a sizzling weekend along the Jersey Shore and Delaware coastline. We're looking at a moderate rip current risk, so keep your wits about you and swim smart.
Today's going to be a tale of two skies - mostly cloudy in the morning, then breaking into a mostly sunny spectacular by early afternoon. Temperatures will dance in the lower 80s with a gentle south wind of 5 to 10 miles per hour. The UV index is screaming very high, so slather on that sunscreen!
Water temperatures are sitting pretty in the upper 60s to lower 70s - refreshing enough to cool you down but not freeze your toes off. Expect some surf with 2 to 3 foot waves perfect for casual boarding or just riding the tide.
A slight chance of pop-up showers and thunderstorms might crash the party, so keep an eye on those skies. Sunrise kicks off early around 5:30 AM, with sunset providing a gorgeous backdrop around 8:30 PM.
Sunday looks even better - mostly sunny with temperatures climbing to the mid and upper 80s. Winds will shift from northwest to southwest, keeping things interesting. Tides will be your beach companion, with high tides ranging from 10:27 AM in Belmar to 12:04 PM in Cape May.
Beachgoers, remember the golden rules: respect the water, watch for rip currents, and stay hydrated. Whether you're in Sandy Hook, Long Beach Island, Atlantic City, Ocean City, or Rehoboth Beach, this weekend is your ticket to coastal paradise!
Stay safe, have fun, and catch those waves!
