Surf Zone Forecast
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
439 AM EST Fri Jan 10 2025

.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

Dangerous swimming conditions will quickly develop this morning, as
the onset of southerly gales over the Gulf waters this morning brings
the fairly sudden arrival of high surf along the coast. Winds will
turn westerly and northwesterly behind a cold front this evening, but
it will take until about Sunday afternoon to ease the high risk of rip
currents. Beyond Sunday, cold northerly offshore winds will hold the
rip current risk in the low to moderate category.
