rip current risk: low risk. marine conditions do not support the
development of rip currents. however, rip currents are
possible, especially in the vicinity of the south padre
island jetty. know how to swim and heed the advice of
the beach patrol.
ultraviolet index: extreme. wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, and
use sunscreen of spf 15 or higher. remain in the shade
if possible.
weather: partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers and
thunderstorms in the late morning and afternoon.
temperatures: highs in the upper 80s.
wind: east southeast 5 to 15 mph.
wave heights: 1 to 2 feet.
surf temperature: 76 degrees.
bay temperature: 82 degrees.
tides: a high at 5 22 am. a low at 8 32 pm.
outlook: light to moderate southeast winds and low seas will
continue through through weekend as high pressure
remains over the gulf. this will result in a low risk
of rip currents through at least sunday.

.outlook (days 3-5)...in response to greater swell periods...the
rip current risk may increase during the saturday through monday
period. a weak to occasionally moderate onshore flow is expected
through the period. warm to hot conditions each afternoon with
maximum heat index values around 95f along the surf zone. no
significant precipitation expected.
* a low risk of rip currents means that any rip currents that do
form are likely to be weak but still may pose a danger to poor
swimmers. research has shown rip currents are typically more
frequent in the vicinity of jetties...inlets...and piers and
these can be quite strong on days where the overall rip current
threat is low...especially if strong southerly or northeasterly
winds exist.
* wave height and period forecasts are representative of deep ocean
waves over the offshore waters...not surf conditions.
