Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a sizzling Sunday along the Jersey Shore and Delaware coastline. Today's looking like a postcard-perfect beach day with mostly sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the mid-80s.
Eastern Monmouth and Sandy Hook are serving up calm 1 to 2 foot waves with light south winds around 5 to 10 mph. Water temps are sitting pretty in the lower 70s, making for some seriously refreshing swimming conditions. Pro tip: slather on that sunscreen because the UV index is cranked up to very high!
Heading down to Long Beach Island? Expect similar mellow surf with a slight wind bump in the afternoon, pushing to around 15 mph. Atlantic City and the coastal Atlantic beaches will see slightly bigger waves at 2 to 3 feet, perfect for some casual board riding.
Cape May and Ocean City are looking equally gorgeous with mostly sunny skies and comfortable lower 80s temperatures. Water temperatures are creeping into the lower 70s, inviting you to take a dip.
Delaware beaches like Rehoboth are keeping the beach vibe chill with 1 to 2 foot surf and upper 70s water temps. Sunrise comes early at 5:40 AM, giving early birds plenty of time to catch some morning waves.
But hold up, beach warriors - Monday's bringing a change of pace. Expect partly sunny skies with a moderate chance of afternoon thunderstorms rolling through. Rip current risk will bump up to moderate for most areas, so swim smart and stay close to lifeguard stations.
Winds will shift and strengthen to 10 to 15 mph, adding some texture to those waves. Tides are looking consistent across the region, so plan your beach day accordingly.
Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy that summer sunshine!
