Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a weekend of stellar coastal conditions along the Mid-Atlantic shoreline. Our final beach forecast of the season is bringing some sweet late-summer vibes that you won't want to miss.
Saturday's looking like a picture-perfect beach day with sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the mid-70s. Expect moderate surf conditions with waves ranging 2 to 3 feet - ideal for casual surfing and beach lounging. But listen up, water warriors - we've got a moderate rip current risk in effect, so keep those safety skills sharp.
Water temperatures are holding steady in the upper 60s, making for comfortable swimming. West winds around 10 to 15 mph will provide just enough breeze to keep things interesting. Pro tip: UV index is moderate, so slather on that sunscreen and rock your favorite beach gear.
Sunday brings similar conditions with a slight wind shift to southwest, potentially picking up to 20 mph by afternoon. Rip current risk might drop to low, but always stay alert near piers and jetties.
Columbus Day is looking like a banger with surf heights potentially reaching 2 to 5 feet and temperatures in the lower 70s. West winds around 20 mph will add some extra excitement for wind sport enthusiasts.
As temperatures cool midweek, expect smaller 2 to 3 foot waves and chillier conditions with highs dropping into the upper 50s and northwest winds howling around 15 to 20 mph.
This is the final beach forecast until mid-May 2025, so make these last coastal moments count. Stay safe, have fun, and catch those waves!
