Prepare for a dangerous weekend at Florida’s East Coast beaches

High surf, rip current threat top hazards

Jonathan Kegges, Meteorologist

High surf

ORLANDO, Fla. – Behind the cold front that has drastically dropped temperatures across all of Central Florida Friday, the wind associated with the front continues churning up the Atlantic.

It is advised not to enter the ocean through the weekend as the surf and rip current threat will be extremely high. A high surf advisory is in effect through at least Sunday morning. Minor beach erosion and coastal flooding will also be possible through the weekend.

Conditions improve slightly early next work week.
