Surf Report for Jacksonville Florida
# Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia Surf Zone Forecast Well folks, if you're thinking about heading to the beach today, you better pack your patience along with your sunscreen because Mother Nature's got a mixed bag in store for us. Let's start with the good news. Conditions are staying nice and calm out there with surf heights hovering around one to two feet. That's great if you're looking for a mellow day in the water, but if you're hoping to catch some waves, you might want to temper your expectations. The rip current risk remains low across the board, though as always, stay extra cautious around those jetties, groins, and piers where conditions can get sketchy real fast. Now here's the thing that's going to make today interesting. We're looking at a high thunderstorm potential this afternoon, and I'm not talking about a light shower. Showers with thunderstorms are likely, so keep one eye on the sky at all times. When you see those clouds building, it's time to get out of the water. Seriously. And if you've got sensitive skin, slather on that sunscreen because the UV index is off the charts at extreme levels. The sun's got teeth today. Water temperatures are absolutely gorgeous, ranging from the upper seventies up to the low eighties depending on where you are. That's perfect for a comfortable swim. Air temperatures will peak around ninety degrees under mostly cloudy skies with northwest winds staying light at around ten miles per hour. Moving into Wednesday, the thunderstorm situation calms down a bit. We're looking at moderate thunderstorm potential with partly sunny skies and a chance of showers and thunderstorms rather than likely showers. That's an improvement. Surf stays the same at one to two feet, and rip current risk stays low. High temperatures will be in the upper eighties, though the heat index could climb up to around one hundred and one, so stay hydrated out there. Southwest winds pick up just slightly, still around ten miles per hour. Looking ahead to Thursday and into Juneteenth on Friday, we're back to likely thunderstorms with partly sunny conditions and highs in the lower nineties on Thursday and around ninety on Friday. Surf remains consistently small at one to two feet. By Saturday, things start to ease up a little bit with mostly cloudy skies and just a chance, rather than likely conditions, for showers and thunderstorms. Highs drop back into the upper eighties with northwest winds returning. Down in the Georgia zone, the story is pretty much the same. Today we've got that high thunderstorm potential with mostly cloudy skies and likely showers and thunderstorms. Surf is around one foot with low rip current risk. Water temperatures are a touch warmer, running eighty to eighty-five degrees. Highs reach into the upper eighties. Wednesday along the Georgia coast actually brings high thunderstorm potential, which is a notch above what we're seeing in Florida. Again, mostly cloudy with likely showers and thunderstorms. Surf nudges up to one to two feet and rip current risk stays low. Thursday through Saturday follows a similar pattern to what we're expecting across the state line with partly sunny to mostly cloudy conditions, scattered thunderstorms, and relatively consistent small surf. Bottom line: if you're heading to the beach this week, come for the warm water and calm waves, but be prepared for afternoon thunderstorms. Keep your phone charged, watch the weather, and always stay aware of conditions. This is a week for cautious beach enjoyment, not daring adventures. Stay safe out there.
