Ahoy, surfers and beachgoers! This is your go-to surf forecast reporter bringing you the latest updates for the West Central and Southwest Florida surf zones. Let's dive in and see what the waves have in store for us today!

First up, for the coastal areas like Levy, Citrus, Hernando, and Pasco, the surf height is a disappointing 1 foot or less today. But hey, at least the UV index is very high, so don't forget your sunscreen! Expect sunny skies with high temperatures in the lower 70s and northwest winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour. And don't be fooled by the calm sea, folks, as there's a high rip current risk lingering around those shores.

Moving over to Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Sarasota, the story remains the same with a high rip current risk continuing through the evening. Surf height remains at 1 foot or less, with very high UV index and sunny weather. Temperatures will be in the mid-70s, and be prepared for some Northwest winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour.

Last but not least, for the coastal areas in Charlotte and Lee, including Boca Grande and Fort Myers Beach, the waves are still sitting at 1 foot or less, but be cautious of the high rip current risk. Expect sunny skies, mid-70s temperatures, and northwest winds at around 10 miles per hour.

So, surfers, it may not be the biggest swell out there, but it's still a great day to catch some waves, soak up the sun, and enjoy the beach vibes. Remember to stay safe and watch out for those rip currents!
