Virginia Beach Surf Forecast Thursday May 21 Through Memorial Day High Rip Current Risk Friday
Good morning, this is your Virginia beach forecast for Thursday, May 21st through Memorial Day.
Let's start with today. A moderate rip current risk is in effect from 8 AM this morning through this evening across all Virginia beaches. Surf heights will range from 2 to 4 feet depending on your location, with Maryland beaches seeing the rougher conditions. It's mostly cloudy out there with a chance of showers throughout the day. Expect northeast winds starting around 10 miles per hour but increasing to around 20 by afternoon. Highs will be in the mid to upper 60s for most areas, though Virginia Beach will see a warmer upper 70s. Water temperatures remain chilly in the lower 60s, so you'll want that wetsuit.
Now here's where things get interesting. Friday is shaping up to be a completely different beast. The rip current risk is escalating to high across the southern beaches—that's Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks—while Maryland and the northern Virginia barrier islands remain at moderate risk. Surf heights will be more substantial, especially along the Maryland coast where we're looking at 4 to 7 feet. The northern beaches will see 3 to 5 feet. It'll be breezy with northeast winds around 25 miles per hour, and showers will move in throughout the day. Highs drop to the upper 50s and lower 60s. This is not a day for beginners.
Moving into the extended outlook, Saturday brings us 2 to 6 feet of surf with continued showers and cloudy skies. East winds around 20 miles per hour. Sunday gets interesting with mostly cloudy skies, showers likely, and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Surf heights ease back to 2 to 5 feet, and highs reach the upper 60s to lower 80s depending on location.
Memorial Day looks like a mixed bag. We're expecting 2 to 4 feet of surf with mostly cloudy skies, a chance of showers, and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Highs around 70 degrees with light southeast winds. It's that perfect transitional day where you might catch some decent sets between storm cells.
One important reminder: surf heights greater than 4 feet typically create dangerous breaking waves and potentially moderate to high rip current risks. And remember, life-threatening rip currents often form near groins, jetties, reefs, and piers even on low-risk days.
Have a great day out there and stay safe in the water.
