Surf Zone Forecast

.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

Breezy easterly winds and 2-4 foot surf will continue today along all
area beaches, resulting in a high rip current risk. Winds and surf
will very slowly subside during the next several days, but the Gulf
may remain churned up with swells from Alberto and another tropical
disturbance entering the Bay of Campeche this weekend. Thus, a high
rip current risk will likely continue into the weekend.
