Hey there, beach lovers and wave riders! Ready for a fun surf forecast for New York? Let's dive in and catch the wave on what's happening today at some of your favorite spots.
Starting off in Kings (Brooklyn), we've got a high risk of rip currents until 6 PM this evening. Surf's around 3 feet high with a cloudy sky and a chance of rain. The water's in the upper 60s, so not too chilly! Perfect for a quick dip. The winds are coming from the East at around 15 mph. And hey, don't forget your sunscreen with that low UV index today.
Over in Southern Queens, same deal - high rip current risk, 3-foot surf, and cloudy skies. The East winds here are a bit stronger at 15 to 20 mph. So make sure to watch out for those currents if you're hitting the waves at Jacob Riis Park or Rockaway Beach.
Now, onto Southern Nassau, including Atlantic Beach and Jones Beach, where conditions are mirroring the other spots with the high rip current risk, 3-foot surf, and the water temperature in the upper 60s. By the way, Tides at Jones Inlet are low around noon today.
Moving along to Southwestern Suffolk, where you can find Gilgo State Park and Robert Moses State Park, we're in for some high rip currents until this evening. Surf height around 3 feet, mid-60s water temp under a cloudy sky, and a chance of rain. The winds are picking up here to around 20 mph coming from the East.
And last but not least, in Southeastern Suffolk, think Smith Point and Cupsogue Beach, there's a higher 4-foot surf today, and the water's a bit cooler in the mid-60s. Watch those rip currents and stay safe out there!
Remember, whether you're catching a few or just soaking in the beach vibes, always swim near a lifeguard, especially with those rip currents around! And if you find yourself stuck in a rip current, float, don't fight it, and wave for help. Stay safe, and have a splashing day out there!
