Surf's up, beach lovers! We're diving into the final beach forecast of the season, so catch these epic waves while you can.
This weekend promises a sun-soaked adventure along the Mid-Atlantic coastline. Saturday brings moderate rip current risks, so surfers and swimmers - stay alert. Expect gorgeous sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 70s and west winds hovering around 10 miles per hour.
Water temperatures are sitting pretty in the upper 60s, perfect for a refreshing dip. Surf heights will dance between 2 to 3 feet, offering some playful waves for intermediate riders. The UV index is moderate, so don't forget your sunscreen, beach warriors.
Tide schedules are looking prime. Virginia Beach will see low tide around 9:18 AM and high tide at 3:44 PM. Ocean City's fishing pier follows a similar rhythm with low tide at 9:13 AM and high tide at 3:46 PM.
Sunday continues the sunny streak with southwest winds picking up slightly. Rip current risks will ease for some areas, transitioning to low risk. Surf heights remain consistent around 2 to 3 feet.
Columbus Day looks promising with surf heights potentially reaching 2 to 5 feet and temperatures in the lower 70s. But brace yourselves - things cool down quickly next week with temperatures dropping into the upper 50s and northwest winds gaining momentum.
Pro tip: Surf heights over 4 feet can create dangerous breaking waves, so always check local conditions and prioritize safety.
