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: Strong easterly breezes over the eastern Gulf will continue through Thursday, maintaining dangerous rip current conditions at all area beaches. Winds will be in the process of decreasing on Friday, but high rip current risk is likely to linger. Over the weekend, lighter southerly winds will return to our beaches, but stronger winds over the distant Gulf should generate enough swell to keep the rip current risk on the high side.

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.
