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.
