About this episode

The episode provides a surf forecast for Virginia and North Carolina beaches, highlighting wave conditions and weather.

Good morning, this is your Friday surf forecast for the Virginia and North Carolina beaches. We're looking at some consistent conditions across the board today with two to three foot surf, mostly sunny skies, and a moderate rip current risk in effect through this evening. If you're heading out, take those rip currents seriously. They can be life-threatening, especially if you're near groins, jetties, or piers. Over at the Maryland beaches including Ocean City and Assateague, we're expecting highs in the lower 80s with west winds around 5 miles per hour, turning southerly this afternoon. The water's chilly at upper 60s, so a wetsuit might not be a bad idea. That UV index is very high today, so slather on the sunscreen regardless of how cool the water feels. Down in Accomack and Northampton counties around Chincoteague, conditions look pretty similar with two to three foot waves and highs around 80 degrees. Southwest winds at 5 to 10 miles per hour, and the water's sitting in the mid 60s. Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks Currituck area are both looking at sunny skies and two to three foot surf. Virginia Beach should see highs in the upper 80s, while Currituck stays a bit cooler…
