Surf Zone Forecast
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
156 AM EDT Sun Oct 6 2024

.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

Breezy east to northeast winds and elevated surf will continue to
result in a high risk of rip currents for the Franklin county beaches
for the next several days. Elsewhere, winds and surf will increase
along all beaches through the week as Milton passes south of the area,
resulting in building surf and an increasing rip current risk later
this week.
