Description

Good morning beach lovers, here's your surf zone forecast for New Jersey and Delaware this weekend. Starting with today, Saturday, we're looking at some absolutely stellar beach weather across the entire region. Expect sunny skies with highs climbing into the mid-eighties, though it'll be a bit cooler down south around Rehoboth Beach where we're only reaching the low eighties. Winds will be light, starting out of the northwest around five miles per hour and shifting southerly this afternoon. The water conditions are pretty mellow out there. Surf heights are running one to two feet along most of the Jersey Shore, with Atlantic City and Cape May seeing slightly smaller peaks around one foot. The Delaware beaches are also seeing about one foot of surf. The good news is rip current risk is staying low across the board today, so if you're thinking about getting in the water, conditions are safe. Just remember that even with low risk, rip currents can still form near structures like groins, jetties, and piers, so stay aware of your surroundings. Water temperatures are pleasant for early June. Up in Eastern Monmouth near Sandy Hook, you're looking at the upper sixties. Head down to Long Beach Island and you'll find the lower sixties. The southern beaches from Atlantic City down through Delaware are hovering in the upper fifties to mid-sixties. And here's a heads up for anyone sensitive to the sun: UV index is very high today, so slather on that sunscreen. No thunderstorms are expected, so beach plans should go off without a hitch. Now let's talk about tomorrow, Sunday. The day starts off mostly sunny, but expect increasing clouds by mid-afternoon. Highs will be slightly cooler, ranging from the upper seventies down south to the low eighties up north. Winds will be a bit more active, starting light out of the southwest but increasing to around fifteen to twenty miles per hour from the south by afternoon. Here's where things get interesting. Surf is expected to build slightly, especially along the southern New Jersey coast. Atlantic City and Cape May are both forecast to see two to three feet of surf, which is a nice pickup from today. The northern zones will remain around one to two feet, while Delaware stays calm at about one foot. The rip current situation changes Sunday. Up north in Eastern Monmouth and Long Beach Island, it stays low. But down at Atlantic City and Cape May, moderate rip current risk is expected. That means life-threatening rip currents are possible in the surf zone, so if you're heading out, exercise extra caution and stay near lifeguarded areas. Delaware remains low. So here's the bottom line: today is your day if you want calm, sunny beach conditions. Tomorrow brings slightly larger waves and increased wind for those looking for a bit more action, but also raises the rip current concern in the southern Jersey areas. Either way, it's shaping up to be a beautiful weekend at the Jersey and Delaware beaches. Get out there and enjoy it. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

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

Perfect Beach Weather Forecast New Jersey Delaware Saturday Sunday Sunny Skies Lower Eighties Calm Surf

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.

Thursday Surf Forecast New Jersey Delaware High Rip Current Risk Three to Five Foot Waves

Good morning, surfers and beach lovers! Here's your Thursday surf zone forecast for New Jersey and Delaware brought to you by the National Weather Service. Let's start with what you need to know right now: A high rip current risk is in effect from eight AM this morning through this evening across all our beaches. That means life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone, so if you're heading into the water, know how to identify and escape a rip current, and consider staying in designated swimming areas. Looking at conditions across the board, we've got three to five foot surf throughout the region with south winds running twenty to thirty miles per hour. It's going to feel breezy out there. The water temperature ranges from the upper 60s up in northern New Jersey to around 70 degrees down at Rehoboth Beach. For today's weather, expect mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies with a chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms, except down at Ocean City where thunderstorm potential bumps up to moderate. The UV index is very high everywhere, so sunscreen is a must. High temperatures will reach the mid 80s in northern areas, dropping to the lower 80s as you move south. Tide-wise, high tides are happening mid-morning to late morning depending on your location, with lows in the late afternoon. Sunrise is between 5:26 and 5:35 AM, and you'll have daylight until about 8:30 PM. Now here's the good news: Tomorrow, Juneteenth, is shaping up to be much more pleasant. Rip current risk drops to moderate across most areas, down to low at Rehoboth Beach. Surf heights fall to two to three feet, with one to two feet down at Delaware. West winds around ten miles per hour will make it much more comfortable. Skies will be mostly cloudy turning mostly sunny as the day goes on, with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Thunderstorm potential drops to none or low, though Delaware beaches might see showers likely in the afternoon. So there you have it. Today calls for caution with those rip currents, but tomorrow's looking like a real beauty. Get out there safely, and enjoy your time on the Jersey and Delaware shores.

episode New Jersey Delaware Surf Forecast Wednesday Thursday June 17 18 Sunny Warming Trend Increasing Rip Current Risk artwork

New Jersey Delaware Surf Forecast Wednesday Thursday June 17 18 Sunny Warming Trend Increasing Rip Current Risk

Good morning everyone, welcome to your New Jersey and Delaware surf zone forecast for Wednesday and Thursday, June 17th and 18th. Let's start with today. If you're planning a beach day, you're in for some mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid-70s. That's pretty nice early summer weather. The water temperature varies a bit depending on where you are. Down in the northern zones around Sandy Hook, you're looking at upper 60s, while the rest of the Jersey shore and Delaware are sitting in the lower to mid 60s. Winds are light today, mostly southeast and south, running five to ten miles per hour, so you won't have any gusty conditions to worry about. Now, for the surf. Today is mellow across the board. We're looking at around one foot at Sandy Hook and Long Beach Island, and one to two feet down in Atlantic City, Ocean City, and Cape May. Nothing dramatic here, but there's still something to note about rip currents. Even though the surf is small, moderate rip current risk is in effect for most areas. That means life-threatening rip currents are possible in the surf zone. If you're headed out, swim near lifeguards and be aware of those narrow channels of strong current flowing away from shore. The one exception is Delaware, which has a low rip current risk today, so conditions there are a bit safer in that regard. One thing you definitely want to be aware of is the UV index, which is very high today. That sun is no joke in mid-June, so get that sunscreen on early and reapply often. There's essentially no thunderstorm threat today, so you've got clear skies all the way through the afternoon and evening. Now, here's where things get interesting. Tomorrow, Thursday, we're going to see a significant shift in the pattern. High pressure is moving out, and a southerly flow is going to kick in strong. We're expecting mostly cloudy conditions in the morning down in northern Jersey, clearing to mostly sunny by afternoon. Further south, it stays partly to mostly sunny throughout the day. But here's the catch: we've got a chance of showers and thunderstorms moving in, particularly in the northern and central zones. Temperatures tomorrow will be warmer, climbing into the mid-80s. That's a nice bump from today. But the wind is the big story. South winds are going to increase significantly. Northern Jersey and Cape May are looking at around twenty miles per hour, while Long Beach Island and Atlantic City will see breezy conditions with winds twenty to twenty-five miles per hour. Delaware will have southwest winds around twenty. The surf will pick up noticeably too. Northern Jersey and Cape May will see one to two feet, Long Beach Island similar at one to two feet, but Atlantic City is going to see the best action with two to three feet. Still not huge, but definitely more interesting than today if you're looking to get in the water. Here's what you need to know about rip currents tomorrow: conditions are going to be worse. High risk is in effect for all of northern and central Jersey, meaning life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone. That's serious business. Be extra cautious. Delaware is upgrading to moderate risk, so while safer than Jersey, you still need to respect the water. Ocean City in Cape May is also moving to high risk. The thunderstorm potential tomorrow varies by location. Northern Jersey is looking at moderate risk, while Long Beach Island, Atlantic City, Ocean City, and Delaware all have low potential. So if you're heading out early tomorrow, you might want to finish up before afternoon when storms could develop, especially in the northern sections. Sunrise tomorrow is around five thirty-six in the morning, and we won't see sunset until eight twenty-eight in the evening, so you've got a long day of daylight to work with. Use that time wisely, keep an eye on rip currents, get that sunscreen on, and check in with local lifeguards for the most up-to-date water conditions. Stay safe out there and enjoy the beach.
