Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a wild ride along the Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia coastline. Today's looking like a mixed bag of maritime mischief.
For our Northeast Florida surfers, we're seeing moderate rip current risks, so keep those eyes peeled. Waves are rolling in at a solid 2 to 3 feet - perfect for intermediate riders looking to catch some action. The water's a chilly 55 to 60 degrees, so grab that wetsuit!
The morning starts mostly cloudy with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Expect southwest winds cranking at 10 to 15 mph, which will keep things interesting. By afternoon, the clouds will break, giving way to sunshine and temperatures climbing into the lower 70s.
Tide watchers, mark your charts! We've got high tides dancing across the coastline - Vilano Beach peaks at 6:43 AM, while Jacksonville Beach hits its high point at 6:17 AM. Low tides will follow midday, so plan your beach adventures accordingly.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, conditions mellow out. Rip current risks drop to low, waves maintain their 2 to 3 foot rhythm, and you'll be greeted by wall-to-wall sunshine. Northwest winds around 10 to 15 mph will provide a crisp backdrop for your beach day.
Our Georgia coast friends are experiencing similar vibes - slightly cooler water temperatures ranging from 52 to 57 degrees. Today's forecast includes mostly cloudy skies with a low chance of thunderstorms, shifting to clear skies tomorrow.
Extended forecast promises continued stellar beach weather - Wednesday brings 4 to 5 foot surf, Thursday settles into 3 to 4 foot waves, and Friday offers a mellow 2 to 3 foot playground with mostly sunny skies.
Surf safely, stay alert, and enjoy the oceanic playground!
