numerous offshore thunderstorms through this week will kick up pockets
of higher waves and surf that could bring a lot of hour-by-hour
variability in surf conditions.
Based on communication with area beach officials, the following flags
are flying at area beaches:
Walton........................Red
Bay...........................Yellow
State Park Gulf Beaches.......Red
West Facing Gulf Beaches......Red
South Facing Gulf Beaches.....Red
