Rip Current Statement issued June 17 at 2:46AM EDT until June 21 at 5:00AM EDT by NWS Tallahassee FL * 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.
