Surf's up, beach lovers! The National Weather Service is dropping some serious wave wisdom for coastal adventurers this weekend. We've got a high-risk rip current situation that's demanding your full attention.Across the Mid-Atlantic beaches from Maryland to the Outer Banks, surfers and swimmers are in for a wild ride. Today's surf is pumping with waves ranging 3 to 5 feet - perfect for experienced wave riders but potentially treacherous for casual beachgoers.The water's sitting at a comfortable mid-70s temperature, but don't let that fool you. Those southeast winds are creating some seriously dynamic ocean conditions. Expect partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies with a potential sprinkle here and there.UV index is running high to moderate, so sunscreen is your best friend today. Temperatures will hover around 80 degrees, making it feel like classic late summer beach weather.Monday's forecast looks similar but with a twist - winds will shift to westerly, potentially bringing a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Surf heights will calm down slightly to 2 to 4 feet, but the rip current risk remains high.Looking ahead to the extended forecast, expect consistent 2 to 3 foot waves, mostly sunny conditions, and temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. Northwest winds around 10 mph will keep things interesting.Pro tip from the National Weather Service: surf heights over 4 feet can create dangerous breaking waves. Translation? Stay alert, know your limits, and when in doubt, don't go out. Safety first, surf stoke second!Remember, those life-threatening rip currents don't care how good a swimmer you think you are.
