Hey there, surfers and beachgoers! Ready for a wild ride with today's surf forecast? Let's dive in!

So, here's the scoop: we've got a high risk of rip currents at Bay, Gulf, and Franklin County beaches. Those single red flags are waving to warn us of the strong onshore southerly swell, bringing in consistent 2-foot surf heights. And guess what? The risk's going up for all beaches over the next couple of days.

Let's break it down for ya - in South Walton, rip current risk is moderate with 2-foot surf heights and water temperatures at a toasty 81 degrees. Expect mostly sunny weather, highs in the upper 70s, and south winds around 10 mph. Keep an eye out for those tides too!
