... Rip current risk remains in effect through Tuesday evening...
* timing... through Tuesday.
* Impacts... rough surf and life threatening rip currents are
expected through Tuesday. Minor to moderate beach erosion will
be possible.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
There is a high risk of rip currents.
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 and the beach patrol. Pay
attention to flags and posted signs.
If you become caught in a rip current... do not panic. Remain calm
and begin to swim parallel to shore. Once you are away from the
force of the rip current... begin to swim back to the beach. Do
not attempt to swim directly against a rip current. Even a strong
swimmer can become exhausted quickly.
