.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...
A weak high pressure center over the northeast Gulf through Monday
morning will support merely light and gentle breezes, holding the rip
current risk down in the moderate category. Later Monday, a broader
coverage of gentle southerly breezes over the eastern Gulf may
increase surf heights enough on Tuesday to support a borderline high
risk setup along Emerald Coast beaches.
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
