Morning Island Report: Ocean Is 65, No Surf, Blue Skies

On Tuesday morning on the beach at St. Charles Place, the ocean is an (almost) comfortable 65 degrees. The surf is minimal. And a light southwest breeze is cooling off what promises to be a day with a high temperature in the 80s.

Without much wind to churn things up over the past couple days, the ocean is see-your-toes clear at many spots, and a longer swim yesterday showed no signs of jellyfish or other critters. 

The best part of the forecast: no rain for at least a couple days.

Surf: Well, at least it's a chance to dry out the wetsuits, if you haven't put them away altogether. Tuesday brings another day of limp surf. There's not even a longboarder to be found on the north end this morning. We're looking at some ankle-biting waves, maybe a set that could jump up and get your knees. The southwest winds will pick up through the day and maybe create a few little bumps. Check the surf forecasts linked below for the long-term outlook. High tide is at 12:25 p.m.

Traffic: No issues today ... other than the ongoing construction in Somers Point.
