.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...
Wave and surf heights will fall to 1 to 2 feet this morning allowing
the rip current risk to settle in the moderate range. Winds turn
southwesterly later this morning and beach goers are urged to stay
abreast of flag conditions in case a raising of high risk is needed,
especially along panhandle beaches. Heading into Sunday through mid
week, periods of high risk are anticipated as longer period swells
arrive from the central Gulf and surf heights increase once again.
