Northeast Florida Southeast Georgia Surf Zone Forecast High Surf Advisory Rip Current Risk Through Monday
Good morning, this is your Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia Surf Zone Forecast for Saturday, March 28th through Wednesday, March 31st.
A high rip current risk is in effect from 8 AM this morning through Monday evening, so please exercise extreme caution in the water. A high surf advisory is also in effect, running from 2 PM today through 5 AM Monday for the Northeast Florida beaches, and through 8 PM Sunday for the Southeast Georgia coast.
Let's break down what's happening this weekend. Today will start with 2 to 3 foot surf early this morning, but don't get comfortable yet. The action ramps up significantly late this afternoon as surf builds to 5 to 7 feet. Winds are going to be windy, starting northwest at 10 to 15 miles per hour early on, then shifting to north-northeasterly and really picking up steam late this morning. Expect sustained winds of 25 to 35 miles per hour with frequent gusts hitting 40 to 45 miles per hour through early evening. The water temperature is hovering in the low to mid 60s. Weather-wise, expect mostly sunny conditions early, giving way to mostly cloudy skies this afternoon with a chance of showers. High temperatures will reach the upper 60s with moderate UV index.
Sunday is shaping up to be the crown jewel of this swell event. For Northeast Florida beaches, surf heights will jump to 8 to 10 feet, while Southeast Georgia will see slightly smaller waves at 6 to 7 feet. The high rip current risk continues, so that's a major factor if you're heading out. Winds ease slightly to east at 20 to 25 miles per hour with occasional gusts of 30 to 35 miles per hour. Expect mostly cloudy skies and highs again in the upper 60s. No thunderstorm threat. This will be an excellent day for experienced surfers, but remember those rip currents are likely in the surf zone.
Moving into Monday, the swell begins to ease as we head toward the latter part of the week. Northeast Florida will see surf heights of 5 to 7 feet, while Southeast Georgia drops to 4 to 5 feet. The high rip current risk extends through Monday evening. Winds diminish significantly to around 10 miles per hour from the east, and we'll see mostly sunny skies with just a slight chance of showers. Highs climb to the lower 70s.
By Tuesday, conditions continue to moderate with surf dropping to 4 to 5 feet in Northeast Florida and 3 to 4 feet down in Southeast Georgia. Partly to mostly sunny skies will dominate with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs reach the mid 70s with light southeast winds around 10 miles per hour.
Wednesday looks like a nice finisher to this period with continued moderation. Surf heights settle to 3 to 4 feet across both regions, and we'll enjoy mostly sunny skies. Highs will be in the upper 70s with light southeast winds around 10 miles per hour.
Remember, while this swell looks fantastic for water sports, rip currents are a serious concern through Monday evening. These powerful, narrow currents flowing away from shore can be
