We're looking at a high-risk rip current situation that's going to keep lifeguards on their toes.From Sandy Hook to Cape May, and stretching down to Rehoboth Beach, northeast winds are going to kick up some choppy conditions. Expect surf heights ranging from 2 to 3 feet along most beaches, with Atlantic City seeing some beefier 3 to 5 foot waves that'll challenge even experienced surfers.Water temperatures are hovering in the mid to lower 70s - still warm enough for a refreshing dip, but with a serious undertow warning. Those northeast winds are blowing 10 to 15 miles per hour in most areas, with Delaware beaches seeing gusts up to 20 miles per hour.The day looks mostly cloudy with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. While thunderstorms aren't in the forecast, the rip current risk is sky-high. Lifeguards are advising extreme caution - these aren't your typical gentle waves.Tide schedules are looking consistent across the region. Expect low tides in the morning hours between 7 and 8 AM, with high tides rolling in around 1:45 to 2:45 PM. Sunrise kicks off around 6:50 AM, with sunset painting the sky around 6:45 PM.Bottom line: If you're heading to the beach, bring your A-game and your safety smarts. These waters are not for the faint of heart today. Stay alert, watch for warning flags, and maybe consider just catching some rays on the sand.Stay safe and surf smart!For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
