Offshore buoys were reporting light SE winds with a dominant period of 3 to 5 seconds late this morning. Beach webcams showed light surf across the Emerald Coast and relatively flat conditions at St George Island and St Joseph Peninsula.

Southerly to southwesterly winds around 5-10 knots will build to 10-15 knots through the afternoon as the seabreeze circulation. This will lead to a brief surge of surf heights of around 2 feet at Bay and Walton beaches, and around 1-2 feet at Gulf and Franklin beaches today. Fortunately, the waves periods will not be at or above 6 seconds, which will keep the risk for rip currents moderate through today at all area beaches.
