-
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: Early this morning, the buoy located about 90 miles south of Apalachicola was observing south-southwesterly waves of 3 feet at 8 seconds. This will easily cause sufficiently energetic surf to support a high risk of rip currents today. Then a prolonged period of strong easterly breezes will set up over the northeast Gulf late today, lasting until about Friday morning. This will confidently maintain a prolonged period of high rip current risk at all area beaches.

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.

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.
