Description

Good morning, this is your Tuesday, September 30th surf zone forecast for New Jersey and Delaware beaches. A high rip current risk remains in effect from 8 AM this morning through this evening across all forecast areas, so swimmers and surfers need to stay alert and exercise caution in the water. Let's start up north at Eastern Monmouth, including Sandy Hook. Expect mostly cloudy skies with surf heights running two to three feet. Northeast winds will be light, coming in at five to ten miles per hour. Water temperatures are in the lower seventies, so you won't need much of a wetsuit today. High temperatures will reach the upper seventies, and with a moderate UV index, sunscreen is still recommended. Low tide at Belmar occurs at 7:14 AM, with high tide coming at 1:55 PM. Sunrise is at 6:50 AM and sunset at 6:42 PM. Heading down the coast to Long Beach Island and the Coastal Ocean zone, conditions remain mostly cloudy with two to three foot surf. Northeast winds will be a bit stronger here, ranging from ten to fifteen miles per hour. Water temperatures drop to the mid sixties, so a light spring suit might be a good idea. High temperatures reach the mid seventies. The low tide at Barnegat Inlet is at 8:05 AM with high tide at 2:23 PM. Sunrise is 6:51 AM and sunset at 6:43 PM. Moving further south to the Coastal Atlantic zone near Atlantic City, this is where we see the best surf of the day. Expect three to five foot waves with mostly cloudy conditions. Northeast winds again ten to fifteen miles per hour. Water temps are in the mid sixties. High temperatures reach the mid seventies with that moderate UV index. Low tide at Atlantic City is 7:28 AM, high tide at 2:12 PM. Sunrise at 6:52 AM, sunset at 6:44 PM. Continuing down to the Atlantic Coastal Cape May area, including Ocean City, we're back to two to three foot surf with mostly cloudy skies. Northeast winds ten to fifteen miles per hour with water temperatures in the upper sixties. Highs near the mid seventies. Low tide at Cape May is 7:49 AM, high tide at 2:46 PM. Sunrise at 6:53 AM and sunset at 6:46 PM. Finally, in Delaware at the beaches near Rehoboth, expect two to three foot surf with mostly cloudy conditions. Winds pick up a bit here with northeast winds at fifteen to twenty miles per hour. Water temperatures are in the lower seventies. High temperatures reach the mid seventies. Low tide at Rehoboth Beach is at 7:59 AM with high tide at 2:44 PM. Sunrise at 6:55 AM and sunset at 6:47 PM. The main story today remains that high rip current risk in effect from 8 AM through this evening across all zones. Life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone, so if you're heading to the beach, always remember to swim near lifeguards, stay calm if caught in a rip current, and swim parallel to shore to escape. No thunderstorms are expected today, so weather wise you're looking at a decent beach day with mostly cloudy skies and moderate UV index throughout.

episode Jersey Shore and Delaware Beach Forecast: High Rip Currents Monday, Calmer Conditions Tuesday artwork

Jersey Shore and Delaware Beach Forecast: High Rip Currents Monday, Calmer Conditions Tuesday

Hey there, beachgoers! Let's break down what's happening in the water this week across New Jersey and Delaware. Starting with Monday, we've got some serious rip current action to talk about. If you're heading to the Jersey Shore from Long Beach Island down through Atlantic City and Cape May, listen up—we're under a High Rip Current Risk from Monday morning through evening. That means life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone, so please be extra cautious and respect the ocean's power. The best waves of the day will be down at Atlantic City with three to four foot faces, while Long Beach Island and Cape May are looking at two to three footers. Further north at Sandy Hook, expect smaller one to two foot waves. The water temperature varies depending on where you are, ranging from the lower sixties down south to the upper sixties up north. Brace yourself! For the weather Monday, most of the Jersey coast will see partly sunny skies with just a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially up at Sandy Hook where thunderstorm potential is moderate. The UV index is very high everywhere, so sunscreen is non-negotiable. Winds will start light from the southeast but build to around twenty miles per hour from the south by afternoon, which will help create those larger waves down south. Over at Delaware's Rehoboth Beach, we're looking at a Moderate Rip Current Risk with smaller one foot waves, partly sunny conditions, and no thunderstorm potential. Winds there will be fifteen to twenty from the south, and the water is a pleasant lower seventies. Now flip to Tuesday and things settle down considerably. Rip current risks drop to low everywhere, which is much more manageable. The waves will be smaller too—mostly one to two feet across the board. We'll see mostly cloudy skies with showers likely and just a slight chance of thunderstorms, except down at Delaware where it'll be partly sunny with a moderate thunderstorm potential. Temperatures are climbing nicely into the upper seventies and low eighties, and winds will be lighter and more variable, mostly out of the west and northwest. So here's the bottom line: Monday is a day to respect the ocean with those high rip currents especially down the central and southern Jersey shore. If you're in the water, know where the nearest lifeguard is and stay aware of your surroundings. Tuesday looks like a much calmer, more forgiving day to get in the water. Either way, slather on that sunscreen because the UV index is cooking all week. Get out there and enjoy the ocean safely!

Perfect beach day today New Jersey Delaware Father's Day weekend before Monday swell and thunderstorms arrive

Good morning, I'm bringing you the latest surf zone forecast for New Jersey and Delaware as we head into Father's Day weekend. Let's start with today. If you're thinking about heading to the beach, you're in for a treat. We're looking at mostly sunny skies with just a slight chance of showers, and that UV index is cranking up to very high levels, so definitely slather on that sunscreen. Rip current risk is holding steady at low across the board, which is great news for swimmers and surfers alike. Now, the surf is going to be relatively mellow today. Up north in Eastern Monmouth, including Sandy Hook, we're looking at around one foot of swell. Head down to Long Beach Island and it's still about one foot. The Coastal Atlantic near Atlantic City picks up just slightly to one to two feet, and the same goes for the Cape May beaches around Ocean City. Down in Delaware at Rehoboth Beach, we're back to around one foot. Water temperatures are pleasant, ranging from the upper sixties up north down to the lower sixties as you head south. Highs today will reach the lower eighties, with gentle southwest winds between five and ten miles per hour. Pretty ideal beach day if you ask me. But here's where things get interesting. Monday is shaping up to be a totally different animal. A system is moving in from the southeast, and we're going to see some changes in both the conditions and the swell. Starting with the Delaware beaches at Rehoboth, Monday stays relatively quiet. Rip current risk remains low, and the surf holds at around one foot. However, up the coast, things are definitely picking up. Eastern Monmouth jumps to moderate rip current risk with one to two foot waves. Long Beach Island also sees moderate rip current potential with one to two foot swell. Both the Coastal Atlantic near Atlantic City and Cape May will see two to three foot waves with moderate rip current risk as well. The weather pattern on Monday is consistent across the region. Expect partly sunny conditions in the morning, then increasing clouds. A chance of showers and slight to moderate thunderstorms will move through. The strongest thunderstorm potential looks to be up in the Eastern Monmouth and Coastal Ocean zones. Highs will be a bit cooler, settling into the mid-seventies. The real story though is the wind. Southeast winds around ten to fifteen miles per hour will increase and shift south in the afternoon, with some areas seeing gusts up to twenty miles per hour. So if you're planning a beach day, today's your golden ticket. Sunny, warm, light winds, and small manageable surf with low rip current risk. It's a beautiful Father's Day setup. Monday though, save that for more experienced water enthusiasts as the swell ramps up, the wind picks up, and those afternoon thunderstorms could rumble through. Check back with us for any updates as we get closer to the weekend. Stay safe out there. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Good morning beachgoers, this is your Saturday surf zone forecast for New Jersey and Delaware brought to you by the National Weather Service. If you're heading to the beach today, you're in for a spectacular day. Conditions across the entire region are going to be absolutely stellar. We're looking at sunny skies from north to south, with highs in the lower to mid eighties. West winds will be running around ten to fifteen miles per hour, which means a pleasant breeze without any major disruptions to your beach day. Let's talk waves. Surf heights are running around one to two feet across most areas, with the Coastal Atlantic near Atlantic City seeing slightly choppier conditions at one to two feet today. The water temperature is cool but manageable, ranging from the upper sixties up north near Sandy Hook down to the mid sixties as you head south toward Cape May and Delaware. So bring a rash guard if you're sensitive to cooler water. Rip current risk is low across all beaches today, though as always, be aware that life-threatening rip currents can still occur near groins, jetties, reefs, and piers. There's no thunderstorm potential whatsoever, so you won't have to worry about lightning or sudden downpours. However, we are expecting very high UV index values, so don't forget your sunscreen. Tides are fairly consistent across the region. Low tides are occurring in the early morning hours between six and seven o'clock, with high tides hitting around midday and early afternoon, perfect timing if you're planning a beach visit. Now looking ahead to tomorrow, Sunday is shaping up beautifully as well. We're expecting mostly sunny to sunny conditions across the board, with similar temperatures in the lower eighties. Winds will be even lighter, switching to southwest and dropping to five to ten miles per hour. Another low rip current risk day with no thunderstorm threat. Surf heights tomorrow will calm down just slightly to around one foot across most areas. The water will still be cool, so that rash guard might come in handy again. The UV index remains very high, so continue protecting that skin. Sunday's tides follow a similar pattern with low tides in the morning around seven to eight o'clock and high tides in the early to mid afternoon. Bottom line, you've got two fantastic beach days ahead. Perfect conditions for swimming, paddling, or just soaking up the early summer sunshine. Just remember to stay sun safe and be mindful of rip currents, especially around structures like piers and jetties. Get out there and enjoy this beautiful weather while it lasts.

episode Jersey Shore Delaware Beach Surf Forecast Friday Saturday Two to Three Foot Waves Moderate Rip Current Risk artwork

Jersey Shore Delaware Beach Surf Forecast Friday Saturday Two to Three Foot Waves Moderate Rip Current Risk

Good morning everyone, and welcome to your Friday surf forecast for the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches. Let's kick things off with today's conditions across the board. We're looking at two to three foot surf everywhere from Sandy Hook down through Cape May, with the exception of Delaware where we're expecting around two feet. It's not going to be a massive swell day, but it's enough to get you out there and have some fun in the water. Now here's the thing about today: we've got a Moderate Rip Current Risk posted for most of New Jersey beaches, including Eastern Monmouth, Long Beach Island, Atlantic City, and Ocean City. Delaware is sitting at a Low Risk, which is the better scenario. But remember, even on Low Risk days, life-threatening rip currents can pop up near groins, jetties, and piers, so always respect the ocean and know what you're looking for. Weather-wise, we're starting off mostly cloudy this morning, but clearing out as we head into the afternoon. Expect mostly sunny skies by three or four o'clock depending on where you are. No thunderstorms in the forecast, so you won't have to worry about lightning ruining your session. Water temperatures are in the upper sixties up north at Sandy Hook, cooling down to the lower sixties around Long Beach Island and Atlantic City, and settling in the mid-sixties down at Cape May. Delaware is actually the warmest of the bunch in the lower seventies. Winds are coming from the west at around ten to fifteen miles per hour, so we're looking at some decent offshore action, especially if you're heading out early. High temperatures today will range from the mid-seventies down south to the upper seventies up north. It's going to feel pretty pleasant overall. Now let's talk about Saturday, because honestly, it's looking even better. Rip Current Risk drops to Low everywhere, which is what we want to see. Surf heights are going to diminish a bit, dropping to around one to two feet for most areas, with Long Beach Island and Atlantic City down to about one foot. So if you're looking for bigger waves, today is your day. Saturday is more about glassy, clean conditions. Saturday is going to be sunny across the board with no thunderstorm potential. Winds stay out of the west at around ten to fifteen miles per hour, and we're looking at high temperatures in the lower eighties everywhere. The water will still be cool, so bring your wetsuit, but conditions are going to be absolutely gorgeous. One quick heads up for today: Atlantic City and Ocean City have a chance of showers in the forecast, and Delaware is expecting showers likely. So pack a rain jacket or be ready to duck inside for a bit. But these shouldn't be deal breakers. Tides are pretty standard, ranging from early morning lows around six to seven o'clock and early afternoon highs around noon to one o'clock depending on your location. Bottom line: Friday's your call if you want a bit more energy in the water with a Moderate Rip Current Risk in most of New Jersey. Saturday is your safer, cleaner bet with Low Rip Current Risk everywhere and sunny skies all day. Either way, it's a great weekend to get in the water. Stay safe out there and enjoy the waves.

Tide-wise, high tides are happening mid-morning to late morning depending on your location, with lows in the late afternoon.
