Good morning! Here's your Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia surf forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Jacksonville.
We've got some solid conditions rolling in this Friday with a High Surf Advisory in effect until eight tonight. If you're heading to the beach today, expect five to seven foot waves along the northeast Florida coast, with four to six footers down in southeast Georgia. These are some fun, playable waves, so grab your board and get out there while you can.
Now, before you paddle out, we need to talk about rip currents. There's a High Rip Current Risk in effect through late Sunday night, which means life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone. These are especially common around groins, jetties, reefs, and piers, so stay aware of your surroundings and always keep one eye on the water conditions. If you do get caught in a rip, remember to stay calm, don't panic, and swim parallel to the shore until you escape the current.
Weather-wise, you're looking at mostly sunny skies with just a slight chance of showers. It'll be a pleasant day in the lower seventies with northeast winds running fifteen to twenty miles per hour. Water temperatures will be comfortable too, ranging from sixty-five to seventy degrees up north and sixty-two to sixty-seven down south. Just a heads up that the UV index is high today, so don't forget your sunscreen.
Moving into Saturday, conditions ease up a bit. We're dropping down to five to six foot waves along northeast Florida and three to four footers in southeast Georgia. The High Rip Current Risk continues, so keep that same caution in mind. Winds will be lighter, coming in from the northeast at ten to fifteen miles per hour up north and just five to ten down south. It'll be mostly sunny with patchy fog possible, and highs in the lower to mid seventies depending on your location.
Looking ahead to the extended period, Sunday brings three to five foot surf with sunny skies and east winds around ten miles per hour, dropping to five down south. Highs will climb to the mid seventies. The rip current risk carries through late Sunday night, so that remains a concern through the weekend.
Monday shapes up similarly with three to five foot waves, mostly sunny conditions, and highs in the mid to upper seventies. By Tuesday, we're seeing the swell diminish to two to four feet with sunny skies, light southeast to south winds, and temperatures topping out in the upper seventies.
Overall, a fantastic weekend shaping up for water enthusiasts, just remember to respect those rip currents and enjoy responsibly. Stay safe out there!
