Florida – Waves crash hard along the Jacksonville shoreline now, where strong currents and steady onshore winds are creating dangerous beach conditions even as inland areas begin to dry out.
According to the National Weather Service, a High Surf Advisory remains in effect until 8 p.m., alongside a rip current risk lasting into early next week. Northeast winds between 10 and 18 mph, with gusts up to 22 mph, are driving rough surf and hazardous swimming conditions along the Atlantic coast.
Across Jacksonville, Neptune Beach, and Jacksonville Beach, conditions remain risky for swimmers and surfers. Lifeguards urge residents and visitors to stay out of the water or remain near staffed areas. Along A1A, blowing sand and wind gusts may briefly reduce visibility for drivers, especially near open beach access points.
Inland, skies gradually improve through the day, with highs reaching around 76°F. A slight chance of showers lingers into midday, but most areas trend drier by afternoon. Breezy conditions continue, making it feel cooler near the coast.
Saturday brings calmer weather, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 78°F. Winds ease slightly, though the surf risk may linger. By Sunday, sunshine dominates with highs near 79°F, offering a more typical spring setup.
Monday pushes even warmer, with highs near 81°F and mostly sunny skies, drawing more beachgoers despite ongoing coastal hazards.
Looking ahead, temperatures climb into the mid-80s by midweek, reinforcing a strong spring-to-summer transition across northeast Florida.
