CONDITIONS AND LOCALIZED BEACH EROSION. RIP CURRENTS CAN SWEEP
EVEN THE BEST SWIMMERS AWAY FROM SHORE INTO DEEPER WATER.
DANGEROUS SHORE BREAK CAN THROW A SWIMMER OR SURFER HEAD FIRST
INTO THE BOTTOM CAUSING NECK AND BACK INJURIES. STRONG LONGSHORE
CURRENTS WILL CREATE DANGEROUS SWIMMING CONDITIONS.

CURRENTS TO OCCUR IS A COUPLE HOURS EITHER SIDE OF LOW TIDE,

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
IF TRAVEL IS REQUIRED, ALLOW EXTRA TIME AS SOME ROADS MAY BE
CLOSED. DO NOT DRIVE AROUND BARRICADES OR THROUGH WATER OF
UNKNOWN DEPTH. TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTIONS TO PROTECT FLOOD-PRONE
PROPERTY.
INEXPERIENCED SWIMMERS SHOULD REMAIN OUT OF THE WATER DUE TO
DANGEROUS SURF CONDITIONS.
LIFE-THREATENING RIP CURRENTS. IF CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT, REMAIN
CALM. SWIM IN A DIRECTION FOLLOWING THE SHORELINE. IF TIRED,
FLOAT OR TREAD WATER UNTIL OUT OF THE RIP CURRENT. IF UNABLE TO
ESCAPE, FACE THE SHORE AND CALL OR WAVE FOR HELP.
SHORE BREAK OCCURS WHEN WAVES BREAK DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH. IT IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR HEAD AND NECK WHENEVER YOU
ARE IN BREAKING WAVES BY KEEPING YOUR HANDS IN FRONT OF YOU AT
ALL TIMES.
STRONG LONGSHORE CURRENTS CAN SWEEP SWIMMERS AND SURFERS INTO RIP
CURRENTS, PIERS, JETTIES AND OTHER HAZARDOUS AREAS. IN MANY
CASES, THE LONGSHORE CURRENT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO PREVENT SWIMMERS
FROM BEING ABLE TO KEEP THEIR FEET ON THE BOTTOM MAKING IT
DIFFICULT TO RETURN TO SHORE.
