Surf Zone Forecast
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
358 AM EDT Mon Sep 30 2024

.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

A light onshore to longshore SW wind and low surf should make for a
moderate risk of rip currents today. By mid to late week, increasing
winds out of the east looks to introduce a higher risk of rip
currents.

The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring the potential for
tropical development somewhere over the NW Caribbean or Central Gulf
with a medium chance the next 7 days. Interests along the coast should
monitor the progress of this system.
