Good morning, this is your Surf Zone Forecast for the Florida Panhandle beaches. We're looking at a mostly sunny and pleasant Saturday with moderate rip current risks across the region. Surf heights will stay around one foot with easterly winds around ten miles per hour, becoming southerly this afternoon. Water temperatures are holding steady in the low seventies, and it's going to be a beautiful day to be at the beach with highs in the mid to upper seventies. Just remember to keep an eye on those beach flags and stay aware of rip current conditions.

Things are going to change as we move into Sunday. While conditions remain sunny, we'll see southeasterly winds increase to ten to fifteen miles per hour, and rip current risks will escalate. Franklin County will experience a high rip current risk, while the rest of the area remains at moderate risk. Surf heights will bump up slightly to around two feet. This is when you'll really want to respect the ocean and stay vigilant with posted beach warnings.

Looking ahead to next week, Monday through Wednesday will bring increasingly concerning conditions with high rip current risks likely across all beaches. Surf heights will build to around two to three feet, particularly along the Gulf facing beaches and coastal areas. Winds will continue from the southeast at ten to fifteen miles per hour on Monday, then diminish slightly as we move into Tuesday and Wednesday. High temperatures will cool slightly to the lower seventies, but the real story here is the escalating rip current threat. This is when we strongly urge you to heed all posted beach flags and consider whether the ocean is safe for swimming.

If you do venture into the water, remember that rip currents can be life threatening. Always swim near lifeguard stations, never swim alone, and if you get caught in a rip current, swim parallel to shore rather than fighting directly against it. Stay safe out there and enjoy this beautiful weather while respecting the power of the ocean.

Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for South Walton beaches including Sandestin, Santa Rosa Beach, and Turquoise Beach.

We're looking at a beautiful day ahead with sunny skies and highs reaching the mid-seventies. The water temperature is a pleasant seventy degrees, so conditions are looking pretty nice overall. However, there's a significant hazard you need to be aware of: we have a high risk of rip currents in effect through late tonight.

Today's surf will be running around two feet under east winds at about fifteen miles per hour, shifting to the southeast as we head into the afternoon. The UV index is very high, so don't forget your sunscreen if you're planning to spend time outdoors. High tide will occur around three fifty in the afternoon, with sunrise at seven twenty-three and sunset at eight oh-nine.

Now, about those rip currents. The National Weather Service is issuing a high risk warning, which means life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone. If you're planning to swim, please stay near a lifeguard station and become familiar with beach flag warnings. If red flags are posted, you should stay out of the water entirely.

Saturday is shaping up to be a better day for beach activities. We're expecting continued sunny skies with highs again in the mid-seventies, and the rip current risk will improve, though we're still expecting a high risk as winds become southeasterly. Surf heights will remain around two feet, with lighter east winds around ten miles per hour becoming southerly in the afternoon. High tide shifts to five oh-three in the afternoon.

Looking ahead into early next week, the high rip current risk persists through Tuesday with sunny conditions and highs in the lower seventies. Southeast winds around ten miles per hour will continue, so plan your beach days accordingly and always prioritize safety when entering the water.

Good morning, this is your Surf Zone Forecast for Thursday, April 9th, 2026.

Gale force easterlies churned up the Gulf waters yesterday evening, and we're feeling the effects today with dangerous rip currents expected along most of our coastline. If you're planning a beach trip, pay close attention to your specific beach zone because conditions vary significantly across our forecast area.

Starting in South Walton, including Sandestin and Santa Rosa Beach, we're looking at high rip current risk today with surf around three feet. It'll be sunny with a pleasant mid-seventies high, but those east winds at fifteen to twenty miles per hour will keep the water churning. Water temperature is a cool sixty-nine degrees. High tide in Panama City occurs at two forty-nine PM.

Moving east to the Coastal Bay near Panama City Beach and Magnolia Beach, conditions are slightly less intense. We're expecting around two feet of surf with high rip current risk persisting through this evening. Winds will be breezy from the east around twenty-five miles per hour, diminishing to fifteen in the afternoon. Water here sits at sixty-eight degrees. Another sunny day with highs in the mid-seventies.

Further east in the Coastal Gulf near Saint Joe Beach, we see a split forecast. West-facing beaches will have low rip current risk with minimal surf, while south-facing beaches face high risk with around two feet of waves. State park beaches fall in between with moderate risk. Winds will be breezy northeast at twenty to twenty-five miles per hour.

In Coastal Franklin near Apalachicola, conditions are the most active today. We're looking at high rip current risk with three-foot surf, northeast winds between twenty and twenty-five miles per hour, and water temperatures around seventy-one degrees. This area will maintain high rip current risk through Friday evening.

Looking ahead to Friday, the story improves across most zones. East winds will continue moderating and begin turning southeast in the afternoon. South Walton and Coastal Franklin will hold onto high rip current risk, while the Coastal Bay drops to moderate. West-facing beaches in the Coastal Gulf will remain low risk.

Saturday brings the best conditions of the extended forecast. Most areas will see moderate rip current risk as winds ease to around ten to fifteen miles per hour from the southeast. Surf heights drop to one or two feet, and we'll enjoy sunny skies with highs in the lower seventies.

However, don't get too comfortable. Sunday and Monday will see rip current risk climbing back to high levels as southeast winds strengthen and push surf more directly onshore at more beaches. Highs remain in the lower seventies with mostly sunny conditions.

Remember, even on low risk days, life-threatening rip currents can develop near groins, jetties, reefs, and piers. If you find yourself caught in a rip current, stay calm and swim parallel to shore until you escape the current's pull. Be smart, stay safe, and enjoy the

Good morning, this is your Tallahassee National Weather Service Surf Zone Forecast for Wednesday, April 8th through Sunday.

Gale-force winds are hammering the Gulf waters right now, and they're bringing some serious surf action to our beaches. If you're planning a trip to the water today, keep your eyes open because rip currents are likely in the surf zone, especially along the south and southeast-facing beaches of Franklin and Walton counties.

Let's break down what's happening in each zone.

Over at South Walton, including Sandestin, Santa Rosa Beach, and Turquoise Beach, we're looking at high rip current risk continuing through late tonight. Surf heights are around 3 feet with water temps at a chilly 69 degrees. You'll have east winds around 20 miles per hour with partly sunny skies and just a slight chance of showers. The UV index is very high, so slather on that sunscreen. High temperatures will reach the lower 70s.

Moving to Thursday, the rip current risk remains high, but conditions start improving slightly as winds begin to decrease. Expect sunny skies, 3-foot surf, and highs in the mid-70s. By Friday, conditions continue to moderate with high rip current risk still in effect but lighter east winds around 15 miles per hour. Saturday brings the best beach day of the week with moderate rip current risk, mostly sunny skies, and calmer southeast winds around 10 miles per hour.

East winds around 20 miles per hour with partly sunny skies and a chance of showers. Highs reach the mid-70s. Thursday shifts to high rip current risk with breezy northeast winds around 25 miles per hour, diminishing to 15 in the afternoon. Friday improves to moderate rip current risk, and Saturday is looking nice with moderate risk and mostly sunny conditions. Highs both days in the lower to mid-70s.

Down at Saint Joe Beach in the Coastal Gulf zone, conditions vary by beach orientation. South-facing beaches have high rip current risk today with 2-foot surf, while west-facing beaches have low rip current risk with minimal 1-foot surf. Northeast winds are breezy around 25 miles per hour. Thursday maintains high rip current risk at south-facing beaches with 3-foot surf and breezy east winds of 20 to 25 miles per hour. Friday and Sunday both show high rip current risk, while Saturday offers a break with moderate risk.

Finally, at Apalachicola in Franklin County, we're in for a wild ride today. High rip current risk is in effect with the biggest surf of the entire forecast zone at 4 feet. Windy northeast winds between 25 and 30 miles per hour are creating rough conditions. Water temperatures are a slightly warmer 72 degrees. Thursday continues the high rip current risk with 3-foot surf and breezy northeast winds of 20 to 25 miles per hour. The high rip current risk extends through late Thursday night here. Friday remains high

# Apalachicola Beach Forecast Report

Good morning. Here's your Apalachicola beach forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Tallahassee.

A high rip current risk is in effect from this morning through late Thursday night, so if you're heading to the beach, exercise extreme caution in the water.

Today we're looking at mostly cloudy skies with showers likely throughout the day. Surf heights will run around three feet with northeast winds picking up to around twenty-five miles per hour, creating some breezy conditions. The water temperature is holding at a pleasant seventy-two degrees. High temperature should reach around seventy degrees. High tide in Apalachicola occurs at ten seventeen this morning with a low tide at one sixteen in the afternoon.

Wednesday is when things really pick up. We're expecting those northeast winds to increase further to around thirty miles per hour, making it quite windy out there. Surf heights will build to around four feet. The rip current risk remains high. You'll see partly sunny skies with a chance of showers. High temperatures in the lower seventies.

By Thursday, conditions begin to moderate slightly. The high rip current risk continues, but surf heights ease back down to around three feet. We'll see mostly sunny skies with just a slight chance of showers. Northeast winds around twenty-five miles per hour with highs in the lower seventies.

Friday brings some improvement. While the high rip current risk persists, sunny skies take over and winds ease to around fifteen miles per hour from the northeast. Highs in the lower seventies.

Saturday looks like your best beach day of the forecast period. The rip current risk drops to moderate, giving swimmers a bit more margin for safety. Sunny skies, light east winds around ten miles per hour, and highs in the lower seventies make for pleasant beach weather.

Remember, even with moderate rip current risk, always exercise caution around groins, jetties, and piers where life-threatening rip currents often occur. Have a great day at the beach.

Good morning, this is your Panhandle Beach Surf Forecast for Monday, April 6th through Friday, April 10th.

We're looking at an interesting shift in conditions over the next few days. Today starts off with moderate rip current risk and around two feet of surf across most beaches. Northeast winds at fifteen to twenty miles per hour will keep things manageable, with mostly cloudy skies and a chance of showers. Water temps are hovering in the low to mid seventies, so it's getting more pleasant for a dip in the Gulf. High UV index today, so make sure you're lathered up with sunscreen.

Tuesday looks like a really nice day overall. We're dropping down to moderate rip current risk, though the Franklin County beaches might see that risk bump up slightly as northeast winds increase and turn more easterly. Surf heights drop to around one to three feet depending on your location, and we're looking at mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid-seventies. It'll be the best beach day of the next several days, so make the most of it.

Now here's where things get interesting. Wednesday brings the first round of stronger winds as gales develop over the Gulf. This pushes rip current risk to high across all beaches, with surf building to around three to four feet in Franklin County. Breezy conditions with east winds gusting around twenty-five to thirty miles per hour will make for some chunky water, so respect the ocean and stay smart in the surf.

Thursday looks similar to Wednesday. High rip current risk continues, with that breezy wind pattern sticking around. Partly sunny skies with another slight chance of showers and thunderstorms, particularly in Franklin County. Highs in the lower seventies, but that wind will make it feel a bit cooler. This is definitely a day to admire the ocean from shore rather than venture out into it.

Friday brings a bit of relief as winds start to decrease to around fifteen to twenty miles per hour. However, the rip current risk stays high because it'll take time for those elevated surf heights to drop back down. Expect mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper seventies, but again, exercise caution if you're heading to the water. The danger from rip currents will linger into the weekend even as conditions begin to improve.

One last reminder, life-threatening rip currents are always possible near groins, jetties, reefs, and piers regardless of the risk level, so keep your eyes open and your wits about you. Stay safe out there.

Good morning, this is your Tallahassee National Weather Service surf zone forecast for Sunday, April fifth, twenty twenty-six.

A dangerous surf situation is unfolding along the Florida panhandle coast as southerly swells of three to four feet continue to pound the beaches with seven to eight second intervals. This is keeping rip current risk locked in at high levels through late tonight, so exercise extreme caution if you're venturing into the water.

But there's a shift coming. A cold front will move through this evening, turning winds to the northeast and offshore. This change will bring some relief, with rip current risk dropping to moderate levels come Monday and Tuesday. However, don't get too comfortable, because strong easterly breezes will develop Tuesday, with a real possibility of gales developing by Wednesday. When that happens, waves and surf will pick up significantly, and we'll see another dangerous round of high rip current risk return.

Let's break down what to expect at your favorite beaches:

South Walton, including Sandestin, Santa Rosa Beach, and Turquoise Beach, will see mostly cloudy skies today with patchy fog and likely showers. High temperatures reach the mid seventies with water temps at a pleasant seventy-four degrees. Surf is around three feet with high rip current risk. Expect south winds at five to ten miles per hour.

Monday things calm down slightly. Moderate rip current risk takes over, surf drops to around two feet, and highs only reach the upper sixties. Northeast winds increase to fifteen to twenty miles per hour with a chance of showers lingering.

Tuesday brings mostly sunny skies and a slight warm-up, but surf heights drop to just one foot. Moderate rip current risk continues with northeast winds around fifteen miles per hour.

By Wednesday, high rip current risk returns with mostly cloudy skies and a chance of showers. East winds pick up around twenty miles per hour.

Moving east to Panama City Beach and Magnolia Beach, today's forecast is similar. Partly sunny skies with patchy fog and a chance of showers and slight thunderstorms. Highs in the mid seventies with water temperature at seventy-three degrees. High rip current risk and three-foot surf dominate the conditions.

Monday moderates to a moderate rip current risk with two-foot surf. Temperatures dip to around seventy with northeast winds at fifteen to twenty miles per hour.

Tuesday turns mostly sunny with highs in the lower seventies and northeast winds increasing to around twenty miles per hour.

Wednesday brings breezy conditions with east winds around twenty-five miles per hour and a chance of showers. High rip current risk returns.

Further west at Saint Joe Beach and the Coastal Gulf zone, today's conditions vary by beach orientation. West-facing beaches show moderate rip current risk with one-foot surf, while south-facing beaches have high rip current risk with two-foot surf. Expect partly sunny skies, light south winds around five miles per

Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for the Florida Gulf Coast, brought to you by the National Weather Service in Tallahassee. We're tracking some significant rip current activity this weekend, so listen up if you're planning any beach time.

Right now, moderate southeast breezes are pumping across the Gulf and driving a high risk of rip currents today. Whether you're heading to South Walton, Panama City Beach, or anywhere along the Panhandle coast, conditions are primed for dangerous rip currents throughout the day. Surf heights are running around three feet across most areas, and we're looking at sunny skies with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Water temperatures are sitting pleasantly in the low to mid seventies, and the UV index is very high, so get that sunscreen on.

Sunday brings only marginal improvement. Rip current risk remains high across the region as winds diminish to just a few miles per hour. You'll see mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies with showers likely, especially in the Walton County area. Highs again reaching the mid to upper seventies.

Now here's the good news. By Monday, an offshore wind shift begins our slow climb toward safer conditions. Northeast winds around fifteen miles per hour will help reduce rip current risk to moderate levels. We'll see mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers, and temperatures cooling slightly into the upper sixties.

Tuesday sees risk remain moderate to high depending on your location. East winds increase to around twenty miles per hour, bringing partly sunny skies and highs in the upper sixties to lower seventies. This is when rip current conditions start deteriorating again, particularly along the Franklin County beaches.

By Wednesday, expect high rip current risk to return across all beaches as east winds strengthen significantly to twenty to thirty miles per hour. The breezy conditions combined with increased wind-driven surf will create life-threatening rip currents throughout the forecast area.

Bottom line: if you're heading to the beach this weekend, exercise extreme caution in the water. Know how to identify and escape rip currents. Conditions will improve early next week but deteriorate again by midweek. Stay safe out there.

Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for the Florida panhandle coast. If you're planning a beach day this weekend, listen up because the water is about to get seriously active.

We're looking at moderate to strong southeast breezes pumping swell along most of the coast, generating surf heights around two to three feet through Saturday. Now here's the important part: we have a high risk for rip currents in effect through late Saturday night, and that means life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone. This applies to nearly all beaches from South Walton down to Franklin County.

Let's break down what you're looking at today. Down in South Walton, expect mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the mid-seventies and that very high UV index, so sunscreen is a must. The water temperature is a pleasant 72 degrees, and you'll get surf around three feet with southeast winds around 10 miles per hour. Same story over in the Coastal Bay area near Panama City Beach, though it'll be a bit warmer with highs in the upper seventies and winds picking up slightly to around 15 miles per hour.

Things change a little as you head west to the Gulf County beaches. The west-facing beaches are actually looking at moderate rip current risk with smaller one-foot surf, while the south-facing and state park beaches kick up to three feet with high rip current risk. This is where the geography really matters, folks.

Saturday looks absolutely gorgeous with sunny skies across the board and highs in the upper seventies. But don't let the beautiful weather fool you because that high rip current risk is sticking around through Saturday night. The southeast winds stay steady around ten to fifteen miles per hour, and the surf holds firm at two to three feet depending on your beach.

Now here's where things get interesting. A cold front approaches on Sunday, bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms along with some wind shifts. The rip current risk remains high on Sunday, and temperatures start backing off to the lower seventies. By Monday, we're expecting mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers and cooler conditions with northerly winds kicking in around 20 miles per hour. The rip current risk continues, though by Tuesday we might see some improvement with northeast winds and a chance for conditions to gradually settle down.

A reminder to all swimmers and beachgoers: rip currents can be deadly for all levels of swimmers, especially visitors unfamiliar with the coast. If you get caught in a rip current, don't panic and don't fight it. Swim parallel to the shore until you escape the current, then swim back to safety. Stay aware of conditions near groins, jetties, reefs, and piers where life-threatening rip currents often occur even on lower risk days.

Enjoy the beautiful weather, but respect the water this weekend.

Good morning, this is your Thursday surf zone forecast for the Big Bend coast. We're tracking some exciting water conditions as a strong high pressure system keeps things pleasant on the surface while a southeasterly swell builds underneath.

Here's what's happening: brisk winds over the Gulf are churning up a southeasterly swell that's generating around two to three feet of surf for most beaches, with the exception of west-facing Gulf County beaches which are seeing closer to one foot. The story here is the rip currents, folks. We have a HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK in effect through late Saturday night, and this is a serious situation.

Let's break down what that means for each area. In South Walton, including Sandestin, Santa Rosa Beach, and Turquoise Beach, expect three foot surf with high rip current risk today and Friday. The water sits at a pleasant seventy-one degrees, and we're looking at sunny skies with highs in the mid seventies. Southeast winds around fifteen miles per hour will keep things moving. But those rip currents will be LIKELY in the surf zone, so please use extreme caution.

Moving east to the Coastal Bay area around Panama City Beach and Magnolia Beach, conditions are similar with three foot surf and high rip current risk. Water temperatures are also seventy-one degrees, and we'll see mostly sunny skies until mid-morning Friday before clouds increase. This area will see slightly warmer highs in the upper seventies today.

Down in Coastal Gulf near Saint Joe Beach, we get more nuanced conditions. West-facing beaches will see around one foot of surf with moderate rip current risk, while south-facing beaches are looking at two foot surf with HIGH rip current risk. State park beaches split the difference at one foot with moderate risk. Temperatures here are slightly warmer at seventy-two degrees.

Finally, in Coastal Franklin around Apalachicola, we're seeing around two feet of surf today with high rip current risk throughout. Water temperatures are the warmest at seventy-three degrees, and southeast winds are a bit lighter at ten to fifteen miles per hour.

Saturday looks even more impressive for the rip current potential. The risk will maximize as afternoon and evening flows become more onshore. High rip current risk extends across all areas with mostly sunny skies. Surf heights hold steady around two to three feet depending on your location.

Sunday brings a change. A cold front approaches, introducing mostly cloudy skies and chances of showers and thunderstorms. Despite this change, high rip current risk continues through most beaches. Winds flip to the south and lighten up significantly around five miles per hour.

By Monday, we transition to moderate rip current risk in most areas, with the Coastal Gulf zone holding onto high risk. North winds increase to around fifteen to twenty miles per hour, and temperatures drop into the upper sixties to lower seventies as that cold front moves through.

The bottom line: we have dangerous
