Description
Beach Hazards Statement issued November 18 at 2:33AM EST until November 19 at 4:00AM EST by NWS Melbourne FL
* WHAT...A southward flowing longshore current and a moderate
risk of rip currents are expected.
* WHERE...Coastal Volusia, Coastal Indian River, Coastal Saint
Lucie, Coastal Martin, Mainland Northern Brevard, Northern
Brevard Barrier Islands, Mainland Southern Brevard and
Southern Brevard Barrier Islands Counties.
* WHEN...Through late tonight.
* IMPACTS...Northerly to north-northeasterly 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.
