Monatuk and New York Beaches Surf Report for 03-19-2025
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Surf's up, beach lovers, but not in the way you might hope! The National Weather Service is sounding the alarm with a high rip current risk that's got coastal areas from Brooklyn to the Hamptons on high alert.
Today's ocean conditions are looking rough and ready to rumble. Expect surf heights dancing around 3 to 4 feet, with east winds howling between 15 and 20 miles per hour. The skies are cloudy with a side of potential rain, so pack those waterproof jackets.
Water temperatures are hovering in the upper 60s - chilly enough to make you think twice about taking a casual swim. And speaking of swimming, the rip current risk is no joke today. Lifeguards are essentially saying "stay out of the water" unless you're an experienced marine professional.
Your beach day playlist should include safety first. If you somehow find yourself caught in a rip current, remember: don't panic, float, and signal for help. Swimming against the current is a rookie mistake that could cost you big time.
Tide schedules are scattered throughout the region - Coney Island's low tide hits around 12:03 PM, while Shinnecock Inlet dips lowest at 12:07 PM. Sunrise was early, around 6:40-6:50 AM, with sunset painting the sky between 6:36 and 6:44 PM.
Pro tip: This might be a perfect day for beach walking, photography, or enjoying the dramatic wave action from a safe distance. Just keep those feet on the sand and your adventure meter on high!
Heads up - these surf forecasts are taking a winter break and will return May 22nd, 2025. Stay safe, stay smart, and respect the ocean's power!
