Description
Beach Hazards Statement issued October 3 at 3:54AM EDT until October 4 at 4:00AM EDT by NWS Melbourne FL
* WHAT...A developing southward flowing longshore current, and a
moderate risk of rip currents.
* WHERE...Coastal Volusia and Northern Brevard Counties.
* WHEN...Through late tonight.
* IMPACTS...Increasing northerly winds will produce a strong
southward flowing longshore current today, which can knock
swimmers off their feet or into deeper water, making them more
susceptible to dangerous rip currents. The longshore current
will also increase the risk of rip currents near piers and
jetties.
Swim near a lifeguard. 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.
