Beach And Surf Report: August 7, 2015

The National Weather Service is calling for partly sunny skies today, with a chance of showers.

Temperatures will be lower than they have over the past week, with highs only in the upper 70s. Beach winds will be from the east at 10 to 15 miles per hour.

Waves will be around three feet, with an east swell of three to four feet. The surf temperature is 75 degrees.

There is a moderate risk of rip currents. That means wind and wave conditions support stronger or more frequent rip currents. Always have a floatation device with you and swim only in guarded areas.

The UVI index is an 8, which the NWS considers very high.

Low tide at Barnegat Inlet was at 8:18 a.m. High tide will occur at 2:27 p.m.
