Sunny Monday

Mornin'!  It's 72° in Wildwood.  It's comfortable outside as the sky is clear and Ms Sun's just passing over the horizon.  It'll be sunny and warm with temps tapping 90° with a little of the ol' humidity creeping back in.  Winds will be out of the S-SW at 10-20mph.  Tonight the clouds roll in with a stray shower and/or thunderstorm possible (20% chance).  Temps should drop back into the mid-70s with S-SW winds at 10-20mph staying checked in.  Tomorrow...more or less a repeat of today with a sprinkling of clouds as well as the possibility of rain in the mix tomorrow night.
High tide:10:59a.m.
Low tide:4:56p.m.
Ocean temp:75°
Sunset:8:10p.m.
Rip Currents: Moderate (A moderate risk of rip currents implies that individuals planning to enter the surf should check with local beach patrols first. Be sure to swim within sight of a life guard, and never swim alone or at night.)
My Monday Morning Beach Etiquette tips:
   ~remember not to leave any trash on the beach or better yet pick up any you see as you leave whether  it's yours or not.
   ~remember to take your cigarette butts (or just don't smoke and pollute the lovely sea air).
   ~remember to pack your headphones (believe it or not no one wants to hear your music).
   ~kindly give your neighbors space and careful not to place your umbrella,chair or blanket too close.
   ~give your kids a quick lesson on "no running on others blankets or towels"
   ~give your kids another lesson on running too close to beach goers to avoid kicking sand on them.
   ~don't play ball, frisbee or fly kites near other beach goers.
   ~don't feed the seagulls (if possible eat under your umbrella) as these vultures will swoop down and
     pluck that food right out of your hand and create havoc around your beach area.
   ~shake towels or beach blankets away from others who are enjoying their beach time.
   ~follow posted warnings and pay attention to lifeguards.

To Anonymous, here's one of the most accurate forecasts I research each day. I'm afraid you're right with rain coming this week but it doesn't appear to be a complete washout. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday certainly aren't going to be total washouts. There's plenty to do other than hitting the beach...the Cape May County Zoo, the Movies (Franks Rio Movies), The boardwalk shops and arcades, some fun playgrounds, many, many good places to eat and listen to live performers etc. Grab a "Herald" (they come out on Wednesdays) and see all that's happening this week down the Shore! One way or another, you'll have fun!
