How to Identify Rip Currents

Look for any of these clues:

  1. a channel of churning, choppy water

  2. an area having a notable difference in water color

  3. a line of foam, seaweed, or debris moving steadily seaward

  4. a break in the incoming wave pattern

 

Rip Current Forecast Sunday:  Moderate

                            Aways swim at guarded beaches.  If you

                            get caught in a rip current..DON’T PANIC

                            SWIM PARALLEL TO SHORE UNTIL

                            YOU ARE FREE FROM THE RIP

                            CURRENT. THEN SWIM BACK TO

                            BEACH.
