Warning Description: Coastal Flood Statement
Warning Date: 5:15 am EDT on September 4, 2010
WarningSum:...High Rip Current Risk In Effect Through This Evening...
Warning Message:Long period swells from departing Hurricane Earl will produce a
high risk of rip currents along the beaches today.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A high risk of rip currents means wind and or wave conditions
support the development of dangerous rip currents...especially in
the vicinity of jetties...piers and sandbars. Rip currents are
life-threatening to anyone who enters the surf. Be especially
cautious with outgoing tides which improve rip current formation.
All beach goers should remain aware of inherent dangers when
entering the surf including swift longshore currents...pounding
shore break and shallow sand bars.
Rip currents are strong...narrow channels of water that flow out
to sea. If you become caught in a rip current...remain calm. Try
to swim on a course that is parallel to the beach until you get
away from the rip...then swim at an angle in to shore. Do not try
to swim back to shore directly against the rip...since it can
exhaust and even kill the strongest swimmer.
Always heed the advice of lifeguards. Pay attention to flags and
signs posted near beach access points and lifeguard stations.
