Surf Zone Forecast
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
1121 AM EDT Sun May 26 2024

.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

Southwest breezes will increase on Monday in advance of a late season
cold front, increasing surf enough to bring a high risk for Emerald
Coast beaches. The wave action will linger enough on Tuesday for
another high risk day along Panhandle beaches. A turn to offshore wind
on Tuesday night will decrease the rip risk on Wednesday.

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

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