Happy Friday the 13th!

Mornin'!  It's 69° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's up there again at 96% with a dewpoint of 67°.  Winds are out of the E-NE at 5-10mph and Ms Sun's up over the horizon.  There isn't any cloud cover to report other than one of the offshore Webcams (Oceanview Campground) seems to be a bit foggy.  It seems that we're going to have another nice day on tap.  Expect mostly sunny skies with some of that light, wispy cloud cover, temps in the mid-70s and NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... partly clear with some of those clouds sticking around, temps in the mid-60s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday... mostly sunny, temps near 80° with East winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-mid 60s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... sunny, temps near 80° and NE winds ramping up at 15-20mph +gusting as high as 25mph.  Sunday night... clear, temps in the low-mid 60s.  Monday... mostly sunny, temps near 80°.

Rip Current: Moderate Risk... life-threatening rip currents are possible in the surf zone. I'd say to swim near a lifeguard but there are none posted this time of year.  Lifeguard stands have been removed.  Be very careful if heading to the beach and taking a dip. I've posted a guide to follow in case you don't heed my suggestion.

More Beach Time

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 67° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 87% with a dewpoint of 59°.  Breezes are barely there out of the E-SE at 2-3mph.  Ms Sun's on her way and it won't be long until she passes over the dark-coral / red horizon line along the ocean.  It'll be another beauty with vivid blue skies and sunshine, temps in the mid-70s and East winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... a few passing clouds, temps back to where they are now (mid-upper 60s) and East winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... partly sunny, temps in the mid-70s and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-60s and NE winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday... mostly sunny, temps in the mid-upper 70s and East wind at 5-10mph.  Sunday... mostly sunny, temps in the upper 70s.  Monday... partly sunny, temps in the upper 70s and Tuesday... partly sunny with temps in the upper 70s.  Talk about repetitive and monotonous weather as I've never been so happy to lack variety in the weather department!!!  By the way, beaching has never been so incredible this summer with this perfect weather. I've been on the beach Monday, Tuesday, yesterday and plan on it again today, possibly tomorrow and this weekend.  I'm getting some serious books read as of late.  Just to note, there are no lifeguards but there are occasion patrols driving along the beach.  Boardwalk lined dune paths, trashcans and Porta-Johns are still on the beaches.  No beach umbrellas/chair rentals available that I can see (some umbrella-rental sheds have already been removed).  There's still ice cream being sold by the walking vendors.  The sky's been sapphire blue.  The ocean's still warm and clear.  The sand is still being raked in the early morning and being warmed by sunshine. The air is cool if in the shade of an umbrella (it's always a good idea to pack a light hoodie or rashguard).  And, there's just 10 days left of Summer.  If in Wildwood, enjoy!

This Lovely Weather-Week Continues

Mornin'!  It's 64° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 85% with a dewpoint of 58°.  Ms Sun's up and once again turning the island golden.  And, breezes are light out of the N-NE at 2-4mph.  It's a picture perfect morning down the Shore.  Expect this beautiful weather week to continue as we'll have abundant sunshine again today with temps in the mid-upper 70s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... clear skies, temps where they are now... 64° and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... more of the same with a sunny day, temps in the mid-70s and East winds at 10-15mph.  As for this weekend... it's looking nice with sunny skies, temps in the mid-70s and E-NE breezes.  Sunday might be on the breezy side but lovely just the same.

Another Beauty For The Books

Mornin'!  It's 63° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 83% with a dewpoint of 60°.  Ms Sun's up and painting the island gold this morning.  No clouds blocking her rays this start to the day.  Winds are light out of the West at 4-7mph.  It'll be just like yesterday with vivid blue skies, temps in the upper 70s and W-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... clear skies, temps around where they are now... low 60s and West winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... another beauty with sunny skies, temps in the mid-70s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... clear with a smattering of clouds, temps in the low-60s and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  I did a beach day yesterday and even with those West winds, I didn't see one green-head fly.  I had the repellent at the ready though.  I'm going again today and probably again tomorrow and Thursday.  We're in the midst of some fantastic beach weather as well as very deserted beaches. With the coastal towns quiet again, it's hard to describe my surroundings but with hardly anyone around town or at the beach, it's the most peaceful, quiet, beautiful and cherished moments now.  Wildwood has quieted and slowed way down.  It's also what retirement at the Shore is all about... a very grateful and satisfying time of the year for me.

A Monday Beauty

Mornin'!  It's 57° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 72% with a dewpoint of 48°.  Ms Sun's up and just crossed over the horizon and we have breezes barely there out of the NW at 3-5mph.  And, the geese are in formation flying South and squawking loudly as they leave us.  Fall is in the air!  Fall might be in the air but it'll be feeling like summer today with blue, sunny skies, temps in the mid-upper 70s and West winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... clear, starlit skies, temps in the low-60s and SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... more of today's weather with blue, sunny skies, temps in the upper 70s and W-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Wednesday... more lovely weather with blue, sunny skies, temps in the upper 70s and NW winds at 5-10mph.

Mostly Gray Day

Mornin'!  It's 68° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 94% with a dewpoint of 66°.  Everything's dripping wet outside from the island's moisture. Winds are out of the S-SW at 4-6mph.  And, it's cloudy with some breaks in the sky.  Ms Sun's not quite over the horizon yet (probably within the next 20 minutes or so).  But, I bet we won't see her sunrise with these thick clouds.  It'll be a mostly cloudy morning with showers possibly developing this afternoon (30-50% chance).  We might even see a thunderstorm.  Temps will be in the mid-70s with SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... there's a slight chance of a rain shower (15% chance), mostly cloudy skies will give way to clear skies overnight, temps will drop into the mid-upper 50s (no typo) and N-NW winds will ramp up at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the mid-70s and North winds at 10-20mph.  Monday... sunny, temps in the mid-upper 70s and NW winds at 5-10mph.
