-
WHAT: Dangerous rip currents expected.
-
WHERE: Walton, Bay, Gulf, and Franklin County Beaches.
-
WHEN: Through late Thursday night.
-
IMPACTS: Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
-
ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Several days of strong easterly breezes are now underway across the eastern Gulf. In response, the buoy located about 90 miles south of Apalachicola was observing 8-foot seas early this morning. These conditions will confidently support a high risk of rip currents through at least Thursday and likely into Friday, when the easterly breezes will start to decrease.

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

WHAT: East winds 15 to 25 kt with isolated gusts up to 35 kt and seas 6 to 9 ft.
-
WHERE: Gulf waters from the Walton-Okaloosa County line to the Suwannee river out 60 nautical miles.
-
WHEN: Until 1 PM EDT /noon CDT/ Thursday.
-
IMPACTS: A Small Craft Advisory means that wind speeds of 20 to 33 knots, or seas of 7 feet or greater, are expected to produce hazardous conditions for small craft. These hazardous conditions may result in poor vessel handling and steering response, broaching, overturned dinghies and kayaks, slips and falls on slippery decks, rub damage along docks and seawalls, and dragging anchors.
