Ocean County Beach Weather Report: Sunny Skies, Calmer Seas

The National Weather Service is calling for mostly sunny skies at Ocean County beaches, with highs only in the mid 70s.

There's a low risk of rip currents. But rips are always possible, especially near jetties and other structures. Always swim on a guarded beach and never swim alone or at night. The NWS suggests you bring a flotation device with you in the water.

The ocean is relatively calm today, with 2 foot waves and light swells. The ocean water temperature is 77 degrees..

The ultraviolet index is a 7, which the NWS considers high. So don't forget the sunscreen. There is no lightning threat. Winds will be from the northwest at 10 miles per hour.

High tide at Barnegat Inlet will roll in at 11:57 a.m. Low tide will arrive at 6:16 p.m.
