Beach lovers, get ready for a sizzling summer weekend along the New York coastline! Today's looking absolutely gorgeous with mostly sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the upper 70s and lower 80s. The surf is calm and inviting, with waves around 2 feet and a super low rip current risk.
UV index is blasting into very high territory, so sunscreen is your best friend today. Water temperatures are sitting comfortably in the mid 60s, perfect for cooling off. Winds will start west around 5 mph and shift south in the afternoon, keeping things nice and pleasant.
Sunday brings some exciting changes - expect temperatures to spike toward 90 degrees with a heat index pushing into the upper 90s. Surf conditions will bump up slightly to around 3 feet, and the rip current risk will climb to moderate. Southwest winds between 10 to 15 mph will add some extra energy to the beach scene.
Beach-goers should stay alert: while the conditions look great, always swim near a lifeguard, have a flotation device, and pay attention to local warnings. If you get caught in a rip current, remember to stay calm, float, and signal for help.
Tides will be your beach companion - Coney Island's low tide hits around 10:24 AM today, with a high tide rolling in at 4:51 PM. Sunrise kicks off the day at 5:25 AM, with a gorgeous sunset scheduled for 8:30 PM.
Looking ahead, expect sunny and warm conditions through Tuesday, with a slight chance of thunderstorms Wednesday. Catch those waves and soak up the summer vibes!
