044 FZUS52 KTAE 150715 SRFTAE Surf Zone Forecast National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 315 AM EDT Thu Oct 15 2026 .THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK... A few more pleasant beach days are in the offering with above normal temperatures and light winds, maintaining the low to moderate rip current risk through Friday. However, a strong cold front is poised to sweep through the area Friday night with strong and gusty north to northeast winds this weekend into early next week. This will increase surf heights leading to a high risk of rip currents.
