Hey beach lovers! Get ready for an epic weekend of sunshine and surf along the Mid-Atlantic coast. Our last beach forecast of the season is dropping some serious beach vibes!
Saturday's looking like a postcard-perfect day with sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 70s. But listen up - we've got a moderate rip current risk in play, so surf smart! Expect waves dancing between 2 to 3 feet with west winds around 10 to 15 mph. Water temps are holding steady in the upper 60s, giving you that crisp autumn ocean feel.
Tides are doing their thing - Ocean City's seeing a low around 9:13 AM and a high at 3:46 PM. Virginia Beach and Chincoteague beaches are riding similar wave patterns. Pro tip: The UV index is moderate, so grab that sunscreen!
Sunday brings more sunshine with southwest winds picking up to 15-20 mph. Surf heights might bump up to 2-4 feet, so wave riders take note. Temperatures remain consistent in the mid to upper 70s.
Columbus Day is looking like a banger with surf heights potentially reaching 2-5 feet and west winds howling around 20 mph. But heads up - things cool down fast. Tuesday and Wednesday will see temps dropping into the upper 50s to lower 60s with northwest winds cranking up.
Important reminder - this is the last beach forecast until mid-May 2025. So soak up these final autumn beach moments! Always respect the ocean, watch for rip currents, and stay safe out there, beach warriors!
