Due to calmer beach conditions on Panhandle beaches for Walton, and Bay counties, the high risk for rip currents has been cancelled for today. Westward facing Gulf county beaches also are expected to have a lower risk for rip currents today, but south facing beaches will likely maintain a high risk for rip currents. Surf is expected to build by this afternoon, therefore, beach goers should still be vigilant for possible rip currents. $$ FLZ114-115-220400- /O.CON.KTAE.RP.S.0070.000000T0000Z-220622T0400Z/ Coastal Gulf-Coastal Franklin- 815 AM EDT Tue Jun 21 2022 /715 AM CDT Tue Jun 21 2022/ ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING... * WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected. * WHERE...Walton, Bay, Gulf, and Franklin County Beaches. * WHEN...From 8 AM EDT /7 AM CDT/ this morning through this evening. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
