ALERT: Mr. Surf's SURF SHOP SURF & BEACH report 10/7/18 Sunday 7am update: ALERT: Storm Watch = ALL EYES on the Gulf as we have a Tropical System moving into the South Gulf, and the models and forecast that we fallow closely are ALL lining up as showing a Tropical Storm / Hurricane 'Michael' moving into the Northwest Panhandle area of Florida. We are seeing the pre-swell pushing in at this time here in PCB with most direction towards P-cola (East facing beaches. Surf will be much larger that way. This morning waves are running knee to occasional thigh high here on West end of PCB and larger on East end. Good news is that the Tropical Storm will aid in disrupting the Red Tide conditions that are along the coastline here and other beaches. BAD NEWS is that at this time the system ids moving slow and into very warm waters. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to all reports on a regular basis. We still have RED TIDE but being out on the beach early this morning and I DID NOT detect Red Tide - HOWEVER, it is present in small to moderate amount pending what beach. Early am hours and off shore winds, as well as the tide, keep it at bay in the morning hours. As the sea breeze turns on shore in the afternoon and tide changes you'll begin to experience more presence of RED TIDE conditions. If swimming - wash off after getting out of the Gulf, apply Swimmer's ear solution, and if experiencing symptoms (coughing, headache, sore throat, respiratory problems, and burning eyes etc.) take some Tylenol and/or baby aspirin.
Today is another absolutely BEAUTIFUL day with clear sunny skies and warm air temps in 80s & will warm into 90s later today. Waves / Swell is rolling in (Strong East direction) towards Walton County and beyond. As a Tropical System moves into the Gulf by tonight/tomorrow the swell will filter in here / PCB rapidly with seas forecast to reach 6-8ft+ and even as high as 12ft+ with increasing winds. Showers are forecast. Water is clear this morning with temps in 80s. Yellow Flags and NO Jellies reported. Condos are packed! Expect a busy weekend. The PIRATE FESTIVAL is happening at Pier Park = A GREAT FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT, so be sure to check it out, particularly, if you have kids! Enjoy your day and be BLESSED!
