Primary Election Day

Mornin'!  It's 51° in chilly Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining through some morning, wispy cloud cover.  Winds are out of the N-NE at 5-10mph.  It'll be sunny again today with temps near 70° and N-NE winds shifting from the S-SE at 10-15mph.  Tonight... partly clear, temps in the upper 50s and W-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... mostly sunny skies, temps around 70° with E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps in the upper 50s with S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Thursday... sunny, temps in the low-70s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Thursday night... partly clear becoming clear overnight, temps in the low-60s and SW winds at 10-20mph.  It's with a heavy heart that I'm reporting of a young, missing swimmer who ventured out into not-yet-guarded beach here in Wildwood yesterday.  This is the second drowning (the other was in Ocean City NJ in the middle of May) on the South Jersey coast this year.  Since our beaches are not officially guarded during the week (only weekends from Memorial weekend until June 16th), it's always advised to never go swimming without the lifeguards present.  Not to mention, the rip currents have been in the Moderate zone recently meaning the waves are 2-3' along with a very strong undertow as well as very cold water temps (still under 60°).  Yesterday afternoon, 3 high school kids were rescued by the first responders and fire department but the 4th boy has yet to be recovered as search efforts continued into last evening.  The rip currents are still in that Moderate Zone today.  And, it's Primary Election Day in New Jersey.  Polls for Wildwood are at the Convention Center at 4501 Boardwalk.  For Wildwood Crest it's Crest Pier 1 at 5800 Ocean Ave.  And, for North Wildwood it's 900 Central Ave. Recreation Center. 4.5 square miles is the size of our island by the way.

The Beautiful Weather (with stiff breezes) Continues

Farmers Market Webcam Photo Today

Mornin'!  It's 64° in Wildwood NJ.  Brilliant, blue skies abound with windy conditions... N-NW at 20-25mph.  There's a Small Craft Advisory in effect until late tonight (11PM).  That means that those North winds are 10-20 kt with gusts up to 25kt and 5ft seas expected along our coast.  That means that the conditions of the ocean will be hazardous to small craft.  Aside from that issued warning, it's going to be another beauty today.  Expect blue, sunny skies, temps near 70° with North winds at 15-25mph  Tonight... clear and moonlit (the full moon is tomorrow night), temps dropping to fantastic sleeping weather (low-50s) and NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... more sunshine, temps near 70° and West winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps around 60° with S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Since the start to Wildwood's Farmers Market was cancelled last weekend, kick-off's today at 3400 Pacific Avenue along with many other events this weekend.  Check out the "Events Calendar".
