Beach lovers and wave watchers, get ready for a coastal adventure! The surf's looking mellow today along Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, with waves sitting pretty at a modest 1 to 2 feet.
For our Jacksonville and Nassau County beach squad, expect a mostly sunny morning that'll transition to cloudy skies by early afternoon. The southwest winds will be cruising around 10 mph, perfect for keeping things comfortable. Water temperatures are hovering between 60 and 65 degrees - wetsuit optional but recommended for the more sensitive swimmers.
UV index is cranking up high, so sunscreen is your best friend today. While the thunderstorm potential is low, there's a slight chance of afternoon showers to keep things interesting. Temperatures will climb into the upper 70s, making for a gorgeous beach day.
Tide hunters take note: Low tides are rolling in mid-morning across various beach spots. Vilano Beach hits low at 11:13 AM, while Jacksonville Beach bottoms out at 10:57 AM. High tides will return in the late afternoon, with most beaches seeing peak water around 5 PM.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, expect a similar vibe with low rip current risks and calm 1 to 2 foot surf. Temperatures will cool slightly into the lower 70s with predominantly sunny skies.
Pro tip: Even with a low rip current risk, always stay alert near jetties, piers, and rocky areas where sneaky currents can develop. Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy the coastal magic!
Surf's up, beach community - catch those mellow waves and soak up some coastal sunshine!
