Episode Synopsis

Hey beach lovers and wave chasers! The National Weather Service is dropping some serious surf intel that you'll want to hear before hitting the coastline this weekend.We're looking at a wild ride from Maryland to the Outer Banks with a high-risk surf scenario that's not for the faint of heart. Saturday kicks off with mostly cloudy skies and surf heights ranging from 3 to 8 feet depending on your stretch of coastline. Water's sitting pretty around 70 degrees - not too shabby for late season.But Sunday? Oh, things get real. We're talking massive waves between 8 to 13 feet with northeast winds howling at 35 to 40 miles per hour. Dangerous shore breaks are guaranteed, with potential for neck and spinal injuries. Even experienced swimmers should think twice about entering these waters.Columbus Day continues the maritime mayhem with surf heights between 5 to 10 feet, cloudy conditions, and winds that'll make you hold onto your beach umbrella. Temperatures will hover in the upper 60s, making it more of a spectator sport than a swimming session.Pro tip: The rip current risk is HIGH across all regions. Translation? These waters are seriously sketchy. Life-threatening currents are likely, so if you're not a seasoned ocean veteran, admire these waves from the safety of the shore.This is the last beach forecast until mid-May, so if you're craving some dramatic ocean action, now's your moment. Just remember - respect the ocean, or it'll remind you who's boss.Stay safe, 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
