Is there any way to count the items in a repeater but to use that value before the while loop?

I am using it with foundation block grid and want to set the number of columns to the number of repeater items instead of hardcoding it:

   <?php
    // REPEATER NAME
 	  if( have_rows('grid') ): 
 	 
 	  ?>
 	  <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x small-up-1 medium-up-3 large-up-3"  data-equalizer>
    <?php // REPEATER ROW NAME
    while ( have_rows('grid') ) : the_row();  ?>
    <!-- BLOCK GRID  -->  

       <?php 
        $grid_image = get_sub_field('grid_image'); 
        $caption_header = get_sub_field('caption_header'); 
        $caption_content = get_sub_field('caption_content');
         $small_size = 'square-small';
         $medium_size = 'square-medium';         
        $small = $grid_image['sizes'][$small_size];
        $medium = $grid_image['sizes'][$medium_size];
       
          ?>
      
           
          <div class="cell">
           <h5  data-equalizer-watch><?php echo $caption_header; ?></h5> 
    	     <img data-interchange="[<?php echo $small; ?>, small], [<?php echo $medium; ?>, medium], [<?php echo $medium; ?>, large], [<?php echo $medium; ?>, xlarge]" alt="<?php echo $grid_image['alt'] ?>" />
    	       <?php echo $caption_content; ?>      
          </div>   
       <?php     
         endwhile; ?>
          </div>
        <?php endif;   ?>
