High surf along our beaches will develop through the next couple days as Tropical Storm Barry passes well to the southwest. Surf heights of 4 to 9 feet are likely to develop across the Panhandle with lower heights of 3 to 5 feet across the Forgotten Coast from today into Thursday. This will also lead to numerous dangerous and life-threatening rip currents. Please look for and follow local beach flag recommendations. It's highly recommended to stay out of the water through this period.
