Rip Current Statement

Issued at Sat 12:18 AM Oct. 10

Issued by: National Weather Service

Description

What: Dangerous rip currents.
Where: Coastal Volusia, Indian River, Saint Lucie, Martin, and Brevard Counties.
When: Through late tonight.
Impacts: Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

Recommended Action

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
