Surf Zone Forecast
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
1147 AM EDT Tue Jun 4 2024

.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

Late-morning observations show fairly flat surf along local beaches
with light prevailing SE winds. A turn out of the south then SW is
expected this afternoon with the seabreeze. Therefore, we continue to
advertise a moderate risk of rip currents. Forecast surf heights are
generally below 2 ft. Winds and surf will increase later in the week,
which will lead to a moderate to high rip current risk along the
beaches mid to late week.

Based on communication with area beach officials, the following flags
are flying at area beaches:

Walton........................YELLOW
Bay...........................YELLOW
State Park Gulf Beaches.......YELLOW
West Facing Gulf Beaches......YELLOW
South Facing Gulf Beaches.....YELLOW
