Hey there beachgoers! Ready for a surf zone forecast filled with waves and warnings? Let's dive in and see what the ocean has in store for us!

Today along the South Walton beaches, we've got a high rip current risk that'll make you want to hang ten indoors. But if you're feeling brave, expect surf heights around 3 feet with some thunderstorms likely. Water temperature is a warm 81 degrees, so at least you won't be shivering in your wetsuit! Keep an eye out for those southwest winds at around 15 miles per hour. Looks like tomorrow might give us a break with some sunshine, but don't let your guard down just yet - those rip currents will still be hanging around.

Over on Coastal Bay, including Panama City Beach, it's a similar story with a high rip current risk. Today, surf heights around 4 feet are begging for some serious shredding, but don't forget about those thunderstorms in the mix. The water temperature is a toasty 81 degrees though, so maybe a surf and turf day is in order! Tomorrow, we've got some sunshine on the horizon, but those rip currents aren't going anywhere fast.

And for our friends hitting the Coastal Gulf area at Saint Joe Beach, the rip currents are no joke today, with risks high all around. Surf heights vary from 2 to 4 feet depending on where you are, but with thunderstorms likely, it's a mixed bag of surf and safety concerns. Don't forget those southwest winds blowing at 15 to 20 miles per hour - it's a wild ride out there! Tomorrow might offer some reprieve with lower surf heights and hopefully some sun.

So, surfers, keep an eye on those rip currents, stay safe, and maybe watch some surf videos from the comfort of your own home today. Remember, it's all about riding the waves, not getting swept away by them!
