.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

While a moderate risk of rip currents will be in place today at all

area beaches, the risk is expected to gradually increase by Saturday.

High-end moderate risk today is possible as the sea breeze pushes inland

and enhances onshore flow. By Saturday afternoon, there is moderate

confidence in a high risk of rip currents at the Walton, Bay, South-

facing Gulf County, and Franklin County beaches.
