Good morning, this is your West Central and Southwest Florida surf zone forecast for Tuesday, May 5th through Wednesday. Let's start up north where we're looking at the coastal zones from Levy County down through Pasco. If you're planning a beach day at places like Cedar Key, Crystal River, or Hernando Beach, expect very calm conditions. We're talking one foot or less on the surf, with low rip current risk throughout. The water is sitting in the upper seventies, and you'll want to pack that sunscreen because UV levels are running very high today. It'll be sunny with highs in the upper seventies. Winds start out of the southeast around ten miles per hour before shifting southwest this afternoon. Tonight stays partly cloudy with lows in the lower seventies and light winds around five miles per hour. Moving down to the central gulf beaches including Clearwater, St. Pete Beach, and Siesta Key, conditions remain similarly mellow. Another day with one foot or less surf and low rip current risk. The water temperature is still in the upper seventies, but here you'll see higher air temperatures in the mid eighties under sunny skies. East winds around ten miles per hour will swing to the southwest this afternoon. Tonight brings partly cloudy skies, lows in the lower seventies, and light northwest winds becoming easterly after midnight. Down on the southern beaches of Charlotte and Lee Counties, including Sanibel and Captiva, the pattern holds steady. One foot or less surf, low rip current risk, and mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid eighties. East winds around ten miles per hour shift southwest by afternoon. Tonight you're looking at partly cloudy conditions, lows in the lower seventies, and northwest winds turning northeast after midnight. Here's the good news for everyone planning out their Wednesday. We're expecting more of the same excellent beach weather across all zones. Conditions remain calm with one foot or less surf and no thunderstorm potential. It'll be mostly sunny from north to south with highs in the upper seventies up north and mid eighties closer to the southwest coast. Winds will be light, starting southeast before turning southwest in the afternoon. Water temperatures stay in the upper seventies, and rip current risk remains low throughout. One important reminder: even though we're calling for low rip current risk, life threatening rip currents can still develop near groins, jetties, reefs, and piers. Always swim near lifeguard stations and never swim alone. It's shaping up to be a fantastic couple of days to get out on the beach. Enjoy the sunshine and have a great day.
