Alright, fellow surfers and beach lovers, it's time to catch some waves and soak up the sun with your daily surf zone forecast! Brought to you by the National Weather Service in Tampa Bay Ruskin, Florida.
For our friends hanging out in the Coastal Levy, Coastal Citrus, Coastal Hernando, and Coastal Pasco areas, here's what's cooking for today:
Today, we're looking at a low risk of rip currents, surf heights around 1 foot or less, and a very beach-friendly UV index. The water temperature is a mystery, but expect sunny skies with isolated showers and thunderstorms. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s, with a gentle breeze coming from the Southwest at 5 to 10 miles per hour. Don't forget to check out those tides, catch a low at Cedar Key around 8:02 AM, and a high at 01:38 PM. Sunset's calling at 8:27 PM.
Moving on to tonight, the low risk of rip currents continues, with calm surf heights and a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms under partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will dip into the mid-70s, and the Southwest winds will be around 10 mph. Keep an eye out for the tides at Cedar Key; low tide at 09:10 PM and high tide at 03:54 AM the next day.
And for tomorrow, expect another day with a low rip current risk, 1 foot or less surf heights, and mostly sunny weather. Numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms may come your way, but nothing to dampen the beach vibes. High temperatures will be in the mid-80s, with West winds at around 10 mph. Tides will be at Cedar Key with a low at 08:45 AM and a high at 02:19 PM.
