.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...
Low surf heights of around 1 foot or less the next couple of days
will lead to a moderate risk for rip currents at all area beaches.
Generally southwesterly flow at around 5-10 mph each day will
keep surf heights low; however, the late morning/early afternoon
seabreeze developing on the Florida Panhandle may increase surf
heights to around 1-2 feet each day. This may increase the rip current
risk slightly at all Panhandle beaches the next couple of days.
Based on communication with area beach officials, the following flags
are flying at area beaches:
Walton........................Yellow
Bay...........................Yellow
State Park Gulf Beaches.......Yellow
West Facing Gulf Beaches......Yellow
South Facing Gulf Beaches.....Yellow
Franklin......................Yellow
