Coastal Monmouth County Beach Report For June 10, 2017

The National Weather Service is calling for mostly sunny skies today with highs in the lower 80s.

Not a bad day to head to the beach. But the surf temperature is still a chilly 59 degrees. Winds will be from the southwest at 10 to 15 miles.

There's a moderate risk of rip currents. You should always check with local beach patrols if you're brave enough to go into the water. Always swim within sight of lifeguards and never swim alone or at night. The NWS suggests you bring a flotation device with you in the water.

Waves will be around three to four feet, with southerly swells of two feet. There is no lightning threat. The ultraviolet index is a 6, which the National Weather Service considers high.

High tide at Belmar rolled in at 8:39 a.m. Low tide will arrive at 2:33 p.m, followed by another high tide at 8:49 p.m.
