Surfers and beach lovers, listen up! The waves are calling, and we've got the scoop on this epic end-of-season beach forecast.
Get ready for a weekend of sun-soaked adventure along the Mid-Atlantic coastline. Saturday's looking sweet with sunny skies and temps climbing to the mid-70s. Surf's serving up a moderate 2 to 3-foot playground with a moderate rip current risk. Water's sitting pretty in the upper 60s, so grab that wetsuit and catch some sweet rides.
Winds will be dancing west at around 10 mph, creating just enough texture to keep things interesting. Ocean City and Virginia Beach are dropping low tides mid-morning, so time your beach arrival strategically. Pro tip: keep an eye out near piers and jetties where rip currents love to play hide and seek.
Sunday brings similar vibes but with a wind twist. Southwest winds will be cranking up, potentially hitting 20 mph by afternoon. Surf height stays consistent at 2 to 3 feet, but rip current risk drops to low. Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks will see slightly calmer conditions.
Columbus Day is looking like a bonus round with surf heights potentially bumping to 2 to 5 feet and west winds around 20 mph. Tuesday and Wednesday cool things down, with temps dipping into the upper 50s and northwest winds keeping things crisp.
Heads up, beach warriors - this is the final forecast until mid-May 2025. Make these last beach days count! Stay safe, respect the ocean, and ride those waves like a legend.
