.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...
Gentle southerly breezes over the eastern Gulf today will not be
enough to increase the rip current risk beyond the moderate category.
Southwest breezes will increase on Monday in advance of a late season
cold front, increasing surf enough to bring a high risk for Emerald
Coast beaches. The wave action will linger enough on Tuesday for
another high risk day along Panhandle beaches. A turn to offshore wind
on Tuesday night will decrease the rip risk on Wednesday.
