Description
Beach Hazards Statement issued October 19 at 3:53AM EDT until October 19 at 8:00PM EDT by NWS Melbourne FL
* WHAT...A southward flowing longshore current, and a low risk of
rip currents are expected.
* WHERE...Coastal Volusia, Coastal Indian River, Coastal Saint
Lucie, Coastal Martin, Northern Brevard Barrier Islands and
Southern Brevard Barrier Islands Counties.
* WHEN...Through this evening.
* IMPACTS...Fresh northerly winds are producing a strong southward
flowing longshore current, 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.
