Hey there beachgoers! Are you ready for some fun in the sun at the West Central and Southwest Florida surf zones? Let's dive into your surf forecast for today!

Today, the rip current risk is low, so you can catch some waves without worries. The surf height is around 1 foot or less, perfect for beginners and chill sessions. Be cautious though, as there's a moderate chance of thunderstorms popping up. The UV index is off the charts at extreme, so don't forget your sunscreen! The water temperature is in the upper 80s, so it's like bathwater out there.

For the morning, expect mostly sunny skies with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s, and you'll feel a gentle breeze from the north at 5 to 10 miles per hour.

As the day turns into night, the rip current risk remains low, with the surf height staying consistent. Partly cloudy skies are on the menu, along with scattered showers and thunderstorms. The low temperature will be in the upper 70s, and the winds will shift from northwest to southeast after midnight.

Looking ahead to Saturday, it's still looking good! Low rip current risk, small waves, moderate chance of thunderstorms mixed in with sunny skies, and high temperatures in the upper 80s. Southeast winds around 5 mph will keep things breezy, becoming southwest later in the day.
