Rip Current Statement issued June 16 at 3:31AM EDT until June 17 at 5:00AM EDT by NWS Tallahassee FL

Effective: Tue June 16, 2026, 2:31 AM
Expires: Wed June 17, 2026, 4:00 AM

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...West-facing Gulf County Beaches. * WHEN...Through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL INFORMATION...Onshore flow will become increasingly brisk today, so the rip current risk will increase through the day.

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
