New Jersey and Delaware Surf Report for 03-05-2025

Surf's up, beach lovers! As we wrap up the 2024 coastal forecast season, we've got some gnarly conditions brewing along the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches. Grab your board and sunscreen because today's looking like a moderate adventure. We're seeing consistent 2 to 3 foot surf across all coastal zones, so wave riders will find some decent action. But listen up - the rip current risk is moderate, which means you'll want to keep your wits about you in the water. From Sandy Hook down to Cape May and over to Rehoboth, northeast winds are cranking between 15 to 20 miles per hour, creating some choppy conditions. Water temperatures are hovering in the mid to upper 60s, so you might want a light wetsuit to stay comfortable. The sky's going to play peek-a-boo today - expect partly sunny to mostly cloudy conditions with a slight chance of rain in some areas. The UV index is sitting at moderate, so don't skimp on sun protection. Temperatures will climb into the upper 60s and lower 70s - perfect for beach lounging. High tide times are rolling in early morning, with most beaches seeing peak water levels between 6:25 and 7:17 AM. Low tide hits around midday, giving you plenty of time to explore the shoreline. A quick safety reminder: even with moderate conditions, stay alert near jetties, groins, and piers where rip currents can be tricky. Check local conditions, swim near lifeguards, and always respect the ocean. This is our final surf zone forecast for 2024, so make these last beach days count! Catch you on the waves!
