Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a sizzling Sunday along the Jersey Shore and Delaware coastline. We're looking at a moderate rip current day, so stay alert and swim smart.
From Sandy Hook to Cape May, expect waves rolling in at a smooth 2 to 3 feet - perfect for catching some gentle breaks. Water temperatures are hovering around a comfortable 70 degrees, with some spots dipping into the upper 60s.
Sun protection is critical today - we're talking very high UV index, so slather on that sunscreen and rock those shades. Temperatures will climb into the mid 80s, with mostly sunny skies and just a slight chance of pop-up showers and thunderstorms.
Winds will be playing a little game today - starting west in the morning and shifting to south by afternoon, blowing around 5 to 10 miles per hour. Rehoboth Beach is looking especially spicy with temperatures pushing into the upper 80s.
Tide schedule highlights include high tides mid-morning to early afternoon. For Belmar, high tide hits at 11:21 AM, while Atlantic City surfers can catch their wave at 11:30 AM. Cape May beach goers have a high tide at 12:04 PM.
Monday's forecast keeps the beach vibes rolling with similar conditions - moderate rip currents, 2 to 3 foot surf, and a continued chance of scattered showers. Delaware beaches will see a drop to low rip current risk.
Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy your beach day!
