Roar to the Shore

Mornin'!  It's 77° in Wildwood NJ.  Dewpoint 73° and humidity 91%.  At the moment we're having a nice SW breeze at 7-9mph. You can certainly feel the weather out there this early morn.  The sky is clear and starlit.  Must have had a major overnight check-in as the neighborhood is jammed packed with island livin' folk again.  The fun never ends in Wildwood.  It's looking like the weather will cooperate too (to a point).  It'll be a nice sunny start to the day as clouds join in the mix by this afternoon becoming a partly sunny / partly cloudy day.  Temps will be up there...upper 80s (maybe even tapping 90°) with Southerly breezes at 15-20mph (that's a bit breezy for umbrellas staked on the beach...keyword: "bungee").  Tonight...more clouds with a 50% chance of rain and but it's looking like it's on the overnight.  Temps will drop back down into the mid 70s with breezes out of the South at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow...starting out cloudy but there is a mix of forecasts saying that it could be mostly cloudy all day with a chance of a shower but a couple reported...clouds checked out by mid-day with a mostly sunny day.  One thing to keep in mind though...could be Westerly winds tomorrow...you know the drill about the West Winds = Biting Flies!
High tide:3:16p.m.
Low tide:8:40a.m.
Ocean temp: 75°
Sunset:7:16p.m.
UV Index:7-8 (high)
Rip Currents: Moderate - Do Not swim alone! There are lifeguards posted on specific beaches and there are Patrols posted at the Lifeguard houses.  Check with your officials as they all have different schedules (we have 3 city beaches here...Wildwood, North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest all with their own beach Patrols).  Be careful..."moderate" postings is huge smiles for surfers but for the average "dipper"...those Rips currents are a serious force to be dealt with!  Speaking of "surfers" North Wildwood is celebrating a new Festival called "Waves And Wheels" along Old New Jersey Avenue celebrating our Surfers and Skateboarders!  Wildwood on the other hand is a bit louder with thousands and thousands of Harleys making their presence known.  It's all good.
