Surf's up, beach lovers! As we wrap up the 2024 surf season, Mother Nature's serving up a moderate day along the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches.
Grab your board and sunscreen because we're looking at 2 to 3 foot waves rolling in with a northeast wind around 15 to 20 miles per hour. The water's cooling down, hanging in the mid to upper 60s - wetsuit weather is definitely in play.
Rip current risk is moderate today, so surfers and swimmers need to stay alert. Those sneaky underwater currents are no joke, especially near jetties and piers. Safety first, wave riders!
The sky's putting on a mostly cloudy show with just a hint of potential rain, particularly down in Atlantic City and Ocean City. UV index is moderate, so don't forget that sun protection. Temperatures will hover in the upper 60s to lower 70s - perfect for catching some late September swells.
Tide watchers, set your watches! High tides are hitting between 6:25 and 7:17 AM, with low tides rolling in around midday. Sandy Hook, Long Beach Island, Atlantic City, Cape May, and Rehoboth Beach are all on the surf menu.
Sunrise kicks off around 6:50 AM, with sunset closing the day at 6:42 PM. This is our final surf zone forecast for 2024, so make these last waves count! Stay stoked, stay safe, and enjoy the ocean's farewell performance.
