...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected.

* WHERE...Walton, Bay, Gulf, and Franklin County Beaches.

* WHEN...Through late Thursday night.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
  from shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Strong easterly breezes over the eastern
  Gulf will continue through Thursday, maintaining dangerous rip
  current conditions at all area beaches. Winds will be in the
  process of decreasing on Friday, but high rip current risk is
  likely to linger. Over the weekend, lighter southerly winds will
  return to our beaches, but stronger winds over the distant Gulf
  should generate enough swell to keep the rip current risk on
  the high side.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and
float. Don`t swim against the current. If able, swim in a
direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the
shore and call or wave for help.
