Are you getting a lot of wave action today from Rita?
Looking at Destincam.com, it appears so.

This morning, the waves were about 5'-6'. Streaks of occasionaly hard rain all along the Gulf.

Just received this from Seagrove Beach:

WATER IS CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Hurricane Rita churning just of the coast, the Gulf is extremely

rough. This may look like great time for body surfing and boogie

boarding to visitors who are checking in. We have double red flags

flying and there are extremely dangerous rip currents.

TWC was talking about the rip currents last night along the Panhandle...stay out of the water!!!!

A few more photos available here for registered users. Local surfers are guessing that the wave action peaked late this afternoon. There are a few big pieces of debris floating around, and that has kept many smarter surfers out of the water. Wave action was greater this morning than this evening. These photos were taken after 5pm today.
