Surf's up, beach lovers! We're wrapping up the final beach forecast of the season, so grab your board and sunscreen for one last coastal adventure.
This weekend, the Mid-Atlantic beaches are serving up some seriously sweet conditions. Expect sunny skies and temperatures dancing in the mid to upper 70s across Virginia and the Outer Banks. Water temperatures are holding steady in the upper 60s, perfect for those brave souls ready to catch some waves.
Surfers and swimmers, listen up. We've got a moderate rip current risk in play Saturday, so stay alert. Wave heights will be cruising between 2 to 3 feet, with some spots potentially seeing 4-foot swells on Sunday. West and southwest winds around 10 to 15 miles per hour will keep things interesting.
Saturday's UV index is moderate, so slather on that sunscreen and protect your skin. The winds will be your companion, blowing from the west and southwest, adding a bit of coastal drama to your beach day.
Tide hunters, mark your calendars. Ocean City's fishing pier will see low tide around 9:13 AM and high tide at 3:46 PM. Virginia Beach and Wachapreague have similar rhythms, with low and high tides perfect for your seaside adventures.
Columbus Day looks promising with surf heights potentially reaching 2 to 5 feet. But as the week progresses, expect cooler temperatures dropping into the upper 50s and lower 60s with northwest winds picking up.
This is our final beach forecast until mid-May 2025, so make these last beach moments count. Stay safe, have fun, and ride those waves!
