The Bay County Sheriff’s Office conducted a water rescue this afternoon in the 20,000 block of Front Beach Road, west of the Laguna Beach Christian Retreat.
With the assistance of a bystander with a surfboard, deputies were able to swim out to three teenage girls who were caught up in a rip current. The three were brought to shore without incident.
At this time, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office is posting single red flags on the beaches of Bay County. Single red flags indicate high hazard swimming conditions with high surf and strong currents.
Gulf water conditions are expected to remain in a high hazardous condition through tomorrow.
