panama city beach surf forecast

Thursday:

Gulfsters: Thigh high from the south at 4-5 sec with south winds in the low teens. Size may be smaller as you head south of Tampa and bigger as you head north towards the Big Bend.

Panhandle:  Waist to chest high with lucky bigger sets from the south at 6 sec with SW winds in the mid teens to low 20s making for chunky conditions.

Looking ahead:

Gulfsters:  We should be back to knee high with a few lucky bigger sets from the SW at 5 sec in Friday. Then we drop off for the weekend.

Panhandle:  South swell continues for Friday with strong onshore winds to start the day. Winds may ease for the afternoon so be ready.

We may have some smaller leftovers for Saturday morning but get on them if you see them because they will fade as the day goers on and then we are back to knee high wind swell for Sunday.
