# Surf Zone Forecast Report - South Walton Beaches

Good morning everyone. Here's your surf zone forecast for South Walton, covering the beaches of Sandestin, Santa Rosa Beach, and Turquoise Beach.

Today we're looking at moderate rip currents with waves around one foot. It'll be mostly cloudy until mid afternoon, then clearing to mostly sunny skies. Fair warning though, we do have showers and a chance of thunderstorms in the forecast. Highs will reach around 70 degrees with northerly winds around 20 miles per hour. The water temperature is a pleasant 74 degrees. The UV index is very high, so make sure you get that sunscreen applied. High tide occurs at 9:44 AM. Sunrise is at 7 AM and sunset at 8:23 PM.

Now here's where things get interesting. Sunday is shaping up to be quite the beach day despite a significant shift in conditions. While the weather will be sunny and pleasant with highs in the lower 70s and lighter northerly winds between 10 and 15 miles per hour, the rip current risk jumps to high. That means life threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone. Waves will build to around two feet. High tide Sunday is at 10:22 AM.

Looking ahead to Monday through Wednesday, we'll see improving conditions with moderate rip current risk returning. Surf heights drop to around one foot. Monday stays sunny with highs in the lower 70s and light east winds. Tuesday becomes mostly sunny with highs in the mid 70s and southeast winds around 10. Wednesday continues mostly sunny, warming to the mid 70s with south winds around 15 miles per hour.

Bottom line: Enjoy the water today but watch out for those rip currents Sunday. Life threatening currents are likely, so if you're heading out, stay alert and consider watching from the shore instead.
