Oh, hey there surfers and beachgoers! Get ready to catch some waves and soak up the sun with your West Central and Southwest Florida surf forecast for today, tomorrow, and the day after!

Today, we're looking at a high rip current risk, so be extra cautious out there. The surf height is expected to be 1 foot or less, which might not be the biggest swell, but hey, a wave is a wave! The UV index is very high, so don't forget your sunscreen. Temperatures will reach the upper 60s with sunny skies. Winds coming in from the northwest at around 20 miles per hour will create some breezy conditions. Sunset is at 7:51 PM, so plenty of time to catch those evening sets!

Tonight, the rip current risk remains high, with clear skies and temperatures around 60 degrees. Winds will continue from the west at 20 miles per hour, making for a breezy night out there.

Moving on to Friday, the high rip current risk remains, surf height stays at 1 foot or less, and the weather continues to be sunny with temperatures around 70 degrees. Northwest winds at 15 miles per hour will keep things moving along smoothly.

For those of you hitting the beaches of Cedar Key, Hudson Beach, and Mckethan Pine Island Park, keep an eye out for the tides with highs and lows throughout the day. Remember, safety first and always respect the power of the ocean!
