Surf Zone Forecast

.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.
