Surf Zone Forecast

.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

A steady onshore flow from winds out of the south will make for a
moderate risk of rip currents at all local beaches today. Winds then
shift out of the west on Tuesday. Surf heights are expected to be
minimal. Starting mid-week, the rip current risk appears to increase
as winds strengthen ahead of a Thanksgiving cold front out of the
southwest. Surf heights respond by increasing to 2 ft as soon as
Wednesday. More favorable beach conditions return this weekend.

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

Walton........................YELLOW
Bay...........................YELLOW
State Park Gulf Beaches.......YELLOW
West Facing Gulf Beaches......YELLOW
South Facing Gulf Beaches.....YELLOW
Franklin......................YELLOW
