October beach weekend? It could be NJ’s last warm stretch of the year Dan Zarrow Published: October 3, 2025 A splendidly sunny day in Barnegat Light, N.J. (Dan Zarrow, Townsquare Media)

After the coolest day of the season (so far) Thursday, in the 60s, now New Jersey's next warmup is on. Along with some passing clouds, we will once again see plenty of sunshine and blue sky Friday. It will be seasonable, comfortable and dry with highs in the lower 70s. 80+ degree temperatures return this weekend with sunny skies, marking a rare October beach weekend for the Jersey Shore. The rip current risk continues to drop as the ocean calms down too. The state's next chance for rain and a blustery cooldown will be around the middle of next week.
