Hey there, surfers and beachgoers! Ready to ride some waves and soak up the sun? Let's dive into the surf forecast for the New York area, shall we?

Today, we've got a high rip current risk in effect through Monday evening, so make sure to stay safe out there. The surf height is around 4 to 5 feet, with a high chance of thunderstorms expected. The UV index is low, so keep that sunscreen handy. The water temperature is in the mid 70s, making it nice for a refreshing dip. Expect mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, and highs in the mid 80s. The winds will be coming from the Southwest at around 10 miles per hour.

For you early birds hitting the waves tomorrow, the rip current risk remains high, but the thunderstorm potential decreases, giving way to sunny skies. Temperatures will be in the upper 80s, with a max heat index up to 100. Don't forget your shades!

As we move into the week, Tuesday and Wednesday bring in more clouds with showers likely and a chance of thunderstorms, so plan accordingly. Highs will be in the lower to mid 70s, with winds shifting to the East and Northeast.

Remember, always be cautious in the water, especially with the high rip current risk. Keep a flotation device handy, swim near a lifeguard, and if caught in a rip current, relax and float – don't swim against it!

So, whether you're hitting up Coney Island, Jacob Riis Park, or another favorite spot, stay safe and have a blast catching those waves!
