Good morning, I'm bringing you the latest surf zone forecast for Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, valid through Friday.
Starting with today, Monday, expect mostly sunny skies with moderate rip current risk along the northeast Florida coast. Surf heights will be relatively small, ranging from two to three feet, with water temperatures in the low sixties. If you're heading out, be aware of that very high UV index and pack the sunscreen. Winds will be light, coming out of the west at ten to fifteen miles per hour with gusts near twenty.
Down in Southeast Georgia, conditions look slightly calmer with just low rip current risk and one to two foot surf heights. Water temperatures are a touch cooler, running fifty-nine to sixty-three degrees. Like northeast Florida, expect sunny skies and that same very high UV index, so protection from the sun is definitely recommended.
Now here's where things get interesting. A high rip current risk is moving in and will remain in effect from Tuesday morning through late Wednesday night. This is significant, so if you're planning to get in the water during this window, exercise extreme caution and always swim near lifeguard stations.
Tuesday will bring mostly cloudy skies to northeast Florida with a chance of showers and only a slight chance of thunderstorms. The surf will be building throughout the day, starting at two to three feet and climbing to four or five feet by afternoon. Northeast winds will increase to fifteen to twenty miles per hour, and temperatures will be cooler, topping out around seventy degrees.
Over in Southeast Georgia, Tuesday's surf will be even more impressive, building to three to five feet with mostly cloudy skies and a chance of showers. It'll be a bit cooler there too, with highs in the mid sixties. Northeast winds will be steady around twenty miles per hour.
Wednesday maintains that high rip current risk for the entire region. Northeast Florida can expect surf heights reaching five to seven feet with partly sunny skies and another chance of showers with a slight chance of thunderstorms. Highs will be in the lower seventies with northeast winds around ten miles per hour.
Southeast Georgia will see surf heights of four to five feet, partly sunny skies, and a chance of showers. Temperatures there will reach the upper sixties with northeast winds around ten miles per hour.
By Thursday, things start to settle down considerably. Both regions will see mostly sunny skies with declining surf heights. Northeast Florida will have three to four foot surf and highs in the mid seventies, while Southeast Georgia sees two to three foot surf with highs also in the mid seventies. Northeast winds will be lighter, around five to ten miles per hour.
Friday wraps up the period with sunny skies across the board. Northeast Florida will see one to two foot surf with highs in the upper seventies, and Southeast Georgia will have one to two foot surf with highs in the lower eighties. Southwest winds
