Hey there, beachgoers! Time for a fun surf forecast in West Central and Southwest Florida, where the sun always shines on our beautiful shores. Let's dive in and ride those waves!

For today in places like Cedar Key, Hudson Beach, and Mckethan Pine Island Park, we're looking at a low rip current risk, with surf heights of 1 foot or less - so perfect for beginners or a chill day out there. The UV Index is very high, so don't forget your sunscreen and shades. The water temperature is in the low 80s, ideal for a refreshing dip. Expect sunny skies with highs in the lower 80s. The winds will start from the south at around 5 mph, shifting to the southwest later on.

As the sun sets, the low risk of rip currents continues into tonight with clear skies and lows in the mid 70s. Winds will be westward, turning to the south after midnight. Tides will be ebbing and flowing at Cedar Key and Saint Petersburg, so plan your beach day accordingly!

Looking ahead to Wednesday, we're still in for a low rip current risk, with sunny conditions and highs in the lower 80s. Winds will be coming from the southwest at 5 to 10 mph, making it a great day to catch some waves.

Over in Bradenton Beach, Clearwater Beach, Siesta Key, Saint Pete Beach, and Venice Beach, the conditions are pretty similar - low rip current risk, small waves, and lots of sunshine. The UV index is very high, so slap on that sunblock and stay cool under the sun!

As the day progresses, the winds will shift from southeast to southwest, setting the perfect scene for a relaxing day by the coast. Tides will be on the move at Saint Petersburg and Venice Inlet, so keep an eye out if you're planning a beach stroll or some jetty exploration.

And finally, at Boca Grande, Englewood, Fort Myers Beach, and Sanibel Island, we're looking at low rip current risk, sunny skies, and temperatures in the mid 80s. The UV Index is high, so bring your sun protection game strong!
