Surf Zone Forecast
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
1123 AM EDT Fri Nov 1 2024

.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

Through Saturday morning, east and southeast breezes over the eastern
Gulf will not be as strong as we have seen in recent days. In
response, surf heights will slowly decrease through Saturday
afternoon. Though the rip current risk is still high for most beaches
today, the improving trend will be enough to drop west-facing Gulf
County beaches and southwest-facing Bay County beaches into the
moderate risk category on Saturday. Winds over the Gulf will re-
strengthen from Saturday night through early next week, so rip current
risk will again become high at most beaches by Sunday.

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.....Red
Franklin......................Red
FLZ108-020200-
