Surf Zone Forecast

.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

A high risk for rip currents continues for most Panhandle beaches
today. A moderate risk for rip currents continues for Franklin County
and south-facing Gulf County beaches.

The threat for rip currents is expected to dramatically increase
starting Sunday as swells from another tropical disturbance currently
crossing the Yucatan reaches the beaches. This combined with
increasing surf heights to 3-4 feet will lead to a high risk for rip
currents 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.....Yellow
Franklin......................Yellow
