Beach And Surf Report: July 17, 2015

There’s another perfect beach day on the way, but not without the risk of rip currents, the National Weather Service says.

Temperatures today will be in the upper 70s. Beach winds will be from the south at five to 10 miles per hour. Waves will be around three feet high. Expect swells of two feet. The surf temperature will be 73 degrees. And don’t forget the sunblock. The UVI index will be a 10.

There’s a moderate risk of rip currents, which means wind or wave conditions support stronger or more frequent rip currents.

“Always have a flotation device with you in the water,” the NWS says. ”Swim only in life-guarded areas.”

Low tide at Barnegat Inlet will be at 3:28 p.m. High tide will be at 9:33 p.m.
