...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK AT ALL AREA BEACHES THROUGH MID-WEEK...

.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

The buoy located about 90 miles south of Apalachicola continues to
observe southerly waves of 4 feet at 7 seconds this morning. As these
waves move into the surf zone along Emerald Coast and Forgotten Coast
beaches today, they will easily support a high risk of rip currents.
Then starting Monday, a prolonged period of unseasonably strong
easterly breezes will get underway, bringing several days of dangerous
rip currents to area beaches.

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

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

FLZ108-170900-
