FWB is great!

Assuming you mean the Okaloosa or Destin beaches that are actually on the gulf, you will have plenty of sandbars, which help form rip currents. You'll probably be able to see the sandbars from your condo, assuming you're not on the bottom floor. The rips typically form in the gaps between the sandbars.

The 'bad' news, I suppose, is that Fort Walton has smaller tides than Panama City (the location in the article) - typically just 8" or so, compared to almost 30" in Panama City. This means weaker rips.

A few tips for your trip:

  1. If you intend to go snorkeling, pick up a dive flag like this one or this one. The beach guard is really picky about you using these. Call Scuba Tech before you go to check what the beach/pier visibility has been - it can be pretty soupy off the beach if the surf is up.
  2. Skip the "Gulfarium". It's a non-AZA accredited, underwhelming little display for too much money. Snorkel the Destin jetty, fish off Okaloosa Pier, or watch for porpoises from your balcony with binoculars if you want to see wildlife. Or stop in Atlanta on your drive back up at their aquarium, it's miles better.
  3. Do visit the Naval Aviation Museum and watch the Blue Angels if their practice schedule lines up with your trip. It looks like the 18th is your day - I usually go in April when they're more frequently at home base, looks like they're traveling a lot this month.
  4. If you have large waves and wind, rent a soft-top surfboard from Fluid Surf Shop, or fly a kite. If you have low waves, go snorkeling or fishing. If in between, walk the beach or golf.
