Hey there, surfers and beach bums! Ready for a dose of sunshine and surf vibes? Let's dive into your West Central and Southwest Florida surf zone forecast!

Starting off with today, the rip current risk is low, so catch those waves worry-free. Expect surf heights of 1 foot or less, ideal for some chill rides. Keep an eye out for scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms but don't sweat it too much. The UV index is extreme, so slap on that sunscreen and stay protected. Temperatures will be in the upper 80s with south winds around 10 mph. And hey, the water's a balmy 86-89 degrees.

As the day turns into night, the low rip current risk continues. Surf height remains the same, and thunderstorm potential stays moderate. You might experience some evening showers and scattered thunderstorms. The evening will cool down to around 80 degrees with southwest winds around 5 mph, switching to southeast after midnight.

Looking ahead to Thursday, the conditions are quite similar: low rip current risk, small waves, and scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 80s, southeast winds around 10 mph, turning south in the afternoon.

Remember, moderate risk means life-threatening rip currents are possible, so always play it safe out there on the waves!
