Near Perfect Weather Is Upon Us

Sunset Lake - Wildwood Crest 
Mornin'!  It's 69° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear and starlit (Sunrise is in about an hour from now).  What a pleasant change when stepping outdoors this early morn!  It's cool and comfortable outside.  Humidity's 76%, the Dewpoint is 63° and there's a cool NW breeze at 10-15mph. And, other than the tree leaves rustling and the distant sound of the waves crashing onshore in that breeze, there's not one air conditioner humming in the neighborhood this morning.  What a lovely surprise to feel such cool air and hear the ocean again.  It looks like a winner for today's weather.  In fact, we could have near perfect weather right up until this time next week!  Expect plenty of sunshine today with temps just tapping 80° with the low humidity continuing.  Breezes could be like yesterday...a bit stiff out of the N-NW at 10-13mph.  Keep the insect repellent (for those greenhead flies) and the bungee cord (for anchoring those beach umbrellas) close at hand if heading to the beach.  Tonight...clear with low humidity and low temps again (upper 60s) with those NW breezes continuing at 5-10mph.  Oh and by the way, we're coming up to the next Full Moon (this Sunday the 26th) as the high tides are just beginning to be higher than normal.
High tide:6:41a.m. and 7:00p.m.
Low tide:12:23p.m.
Ocean temp: 75°
Sunset:7:46p.m.
UV Index: 8 (high)
