THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK
EARLY THIS MORNING, OFFSHORE BUOYS WERE OBSERVING SOUTHWESTERLY WAVES
WITH A SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT OF 2 FEET, AT 5 TO 7 SECONDS. THIS WILL
BE ENOUGH TO KEEP THE HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS GOING AT SOUTH AND
SOUTHWEST-FACING BEACHES, SUCH AS WALTON, BAY, AND GULF COUNTIES.
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO TARGET THE SAME BEACHES
WITH A HIGH RISK THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WINDS AND SEAS DECREASE OVER THE
EASTERN GULF LATE THIS WEEK, SO THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS DROPS BACK TO
MODERATE STARTING THURSDAY.

ARE FLYING AT AREA BEACHES:
WALTON........................RED
