5-Day Outlook

Increased swell periods and increased surf will lead to a HIGH Rip Current risk through at least Friday night. If caught in a rip current, don't fight the current: Wave, Yell, Swim Parallel!

A Small Craft Advisory has been issued going out through Friday evening. Seas will increase to 5-7 ft today and then 7-9 ft Friday.

NHC has upgraded Isaias to a hurricane. Impacts across the western Gulf will be an high surf & rip current risk, and coastal flooding. Stay tuned for the latest update.

A Coastal Flood Advisory is now in effect as increasing swells and seas will lead to minor coastal flooding during times of high tide through this weekend. Beach roads may become inundated and water may reach the dunes.

Expect mostly sunny skies today with a northeast wind around 15 mph. There's a HIGH risk for rip currents so please avoid swimming if possible but if you do, please swim near a lifeguard. Dangerous rip currents are possible especially near piers and jetties.

A quiet night is in store with partly cloudy skies. Lows will be in the upper 60s to mid 70s.

Drier air will allow for mostly clear skies and warmer temps through the weekend. Folks heading to Gulf-facing beaches will need to be careful due to the increased surf, high rip current risk, and coastal flooding concerns associated with Isaias approaching the northern Gulf coastline.
