Ahoy there, surfers and beach enthusiasts! Let's dive into the gnarly surf zone forecast for today in the Charleston area. The waves are looking chill at 2 to 3 feet high, so grab your boards and hit the water! Just watch out for those sneaky rip currents, even though the risk is low today.

The UV index is off the charts, so make sure to slather on that sunscreen and protect yourself from the extreme sunshine. The water temperature is in the upper 80s, perfect for a refreshing dip. And hey, expect a high temperature around 90 degrees, but it might feel like a toasty 108 with that max heat index. SW winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour will keep things breezy.

For Wednesday, the surf and rip current risk remain similar, but keep an eye out for some showers and thunderstorms rolling in. Highs will be in the upper 80s, feeling like 106 under partly sunny skies. Those SW winds will still be blowing at 10 to 15 miles per hour.

Looking ahead to Thursday through Saturday, expect consistent surf heights of 2 to 3 feet with a mix of sun and chances of showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 80s to around 90, with those SW winds keeping things interesting at around 15 mph on Thursday and 10 mph on Friday and Saturday.

Remember, always respect the ocean and watch out for those rip currents, even when the risk is low. Stay safe and have a blast catching those waves!
