Beach lovers and wave chasers, get ready for an epic end-of-season beach weekend! The mid-Atlantic coastline is serving up some seriously sweet conditions as we wrap up our beach season.

Saturday's looking golden with sunny skies and moderate surf heights ranging 2 to 3 feet across Virginia and the Outer Banks. Temperatures are going to be deliciously warm, hitting the mid to upper 70s with that perfect west wind around 10 miles per hour. Water temperatures are sitting comfortably in the upper 60s - not bad for a late-season dip!

Heads up, wave riders - we've got a moderate rip current risk in play, so stay alert. Life-threatening rip currents are possible, especially near jetties, piers, and reefs. The UV index is moderate, so don't forget your sunscreen.

Sunday brings similar vibes with sunny conditions, though winds will pick up slightly to 10 to 15 miles per hour from the southwest. Rip current risk drops to low, but always keep your ocean safety skills sharp.

Columbus Day looks like a breezy beach day with surf heights potentially reaching 2 to 5 feet and west winds around 20 miles per hour. Things cool down quickly after that - Tuesday and Wednesday will see temperatures dropping into the upper 50s to lower 60s with northwest winds.

Pro tip: This is the final beach forecast until mid-May 2025, so make these last beach days count! Stay safe, catch some waves, and soak up those autumn coastal vibes.
