Listen Later

Good morning, I'm bringing you your Tallahassee National Weather Service Surf Zone Forecast for Tuesday, March 31st through Saturday.
A brisk wind pattern over the Gulf is churning up a southeasterly swell that's going to keep conditions interesting throughout the week. Even though we're looking at warm and sunny skies, the water is going to be dangerous for everyone from beginners to experienced swimmers, so pay attention to these warnings.
Starting today across South Walton beaches including Sandestin and Santa Rosa Beach, we're expecting moderate rip current risk with surf around two feet. The water's a pleasant 69 degrees, and it'll be partly sunny with highs in the lower seventies and southeast winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour. There's just a slight chance of showers, so it might feel like a nice beach day, but don't let the weather fool you.
Wednesday is when things really shift. High rip current risk takes over and surf heights bump up to around three feet. Still partly sunny with a chance of showers and highs in the mid seventies. These conditions persist through Thursday and into the weekend with high rip current risk continuing throughout, so swimmers need to exercise serious caution.
Moving east to the Coastal Bay area around Panama City Beach and Magnolia Beach, today brings moderate rip current risk with two foot surf, mostly sunny skies, and highs in the mid seventies. Wednesday through Saturday follows the same dangerous pattern with high rip current risk and three foot surf on Wednesday before settling closer to two feet later in the week.
Out at the Coastal Gulf near Saint Joe Beach, conditions vary by beach exposure. West facing beaches stay calmer with one foot or less surf and moderate rip current risk through the week. South facing beaches are the hot spot with around two feet of surf and high rip current risk from Wednesday onward. State Park beaches maintain moderate rip current risk with minimal surf throughout.
Finally, at Apalachicola on the Franklin County coast, expect two foot surf with moderate rip current risk today, jumping to high rip current risk Wednesday and continuing through Saturday. The water temperature reaches 71 degrees, the warmest of our forecast areas.
The bottom line is simple: this is a dangerous period for water activities. High rip current risk means life threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone. Even though the weather looks beautiful and inviting, respect the water and stay safe out there.
