Surf's up beach lovers! Get ready for a sizzling weekend along the Jersey Shore and Delaware coastline.
Today promises a perfect beach day with mostly sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the lower 80s. The surf is looking mellow with waves hovering around 1 to 2 feet - ideal for casual swimmers and beginner surfers. Water temperatures are ranging from the upper 60s to mid 70s, offering that refreshing summer cooldown.
UV levels are blasting into the very high category, so sunscreen is not just recommended - it's mandatory! Slather up and protect that beautiful skin. Winds will be light and variable, starting southwest and shifting to a gentle south breeze around 5 to 10 miles per hour.
Tide schedules are looking predictable. For Belmar, expect a low tide at 9:39 AM and a high tide at 4:06 PM. Atlantic City and Cape May will see similar patterns, with low tides mid-morning and high tides in the late afternoon.
Sunday continues the stellar beach weather trend. Expect mostly sunny conditions with temperatures creeping into the mid 80s. Surf conditions remain calm with 1 to 2 foot waves and a consistent south wind.
Pro tip: While the rip current risk is low, always stay alert near jetties, piers, and rocky areas where unexpected currents can develop. Safety first, beach warriors!
Sunrise will grace us around 5:30 AM, with sunset painting the sky around 8:30 PM - giving you plenty of daylight to soak up those summer vibes.
Grab your sunscreen, beach towel, and summer attitude. This weekend is screaming beach day perfection!
