Surf Zone Forecast
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
1118 AM EDT Mon May 27 2024

.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

Moderate southwest breezes over the Gulf waters today will kick up
enough surf for a high risk of rip currents, especially for
southwest-facing Emerald Coast beaches. On Tuesday, the
onshore component of the wind will decrease, but it will take until
Tuesday night for the surf to decrease enough to lower the rip risk.

From Wednesday through Friday, nighttime and morning offshore winds
will get interrupted each day by the nearshore afternoon seabreeze.
This should not be enough to raise the rip risk above the moderate
category.

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

Walton........................Red
Bay...........................Double Red
State Park Gulf Beaches.......Red
West Facing Gulf Beaches......Red
South Facing Gulf Beaches.....Red
Franklin......................Yellow
