569 FZUS52 KTAE 171511 SRFTAE Surf Zone Forecast National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 1111 AM EDT Mon Jun 17 2024 .THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK... Early this morning, the buoy located about 90 miles south of Apalachicola was observing south-southwesterly waves of 4 feet at 8 seconds. This will easily cause sufficiently energetic surf to support a high risk of rip currents today. Then a prolonged period of strong easterly breezes will set up over the northeast Gulf late today, lasting until about Friday morning. This will confidently maintain a prolonged period of high rip current risk at all area beaches. Based on communication with area beach officials, the following flags are flying at area beaches: Walton........................Red Bay...........................Red State Park Gulf Beaches.......Red West Facing Gulf Beaches......Red South Facing Gulf Beaches.....Double Red Franklin......................Red FLZ108-172015- South Walton- Including the beaches of Sandestin, Santa Rosa Beach, and Turquoise Beach 1011 AM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024 ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT... .REST OF TODAY...
