NJ weekend forecast: Gorgeous weather, deceptively strong ocean Dan Zarrow Published: August 8, 2025 Rough surf is a concern along the Jersey Shore this weekend. (Dan Zarrow, Townsquare Media)

This is a beautiful forecast — period, full stop. We will see plenty of sunshine Friday and Saturday, with some extra clouds clipping the southern coast. It will be warm but not humid, as we enjoy more dry, comfortable weather. Sunday will be the hotter day of the weekend, with our next heat wave ahead for next week. The other big issue as we begin this summer weekend is a high risk of rip currents at the Jersey Shore - the ocean is surprisingly strong, and I fear there will be a lot of rescues from careless and overconfident swimmers this weekend.
