Description
Beach Hazards Statement issued November 20 at 3:37AM EST until November 21 at 3:00AM EST by NWS Melbourne FL
* WHAT...A strong southward flowing longshore current is
expected in the surf zone.
* WHERE...Volusia, Brevard, Indian River, Saint Lucie and Martin
Coasts.
* WHEN...Through late tonight.
* IMPACTS...North to northeast winds 20 to 25 mph will produce a
strong southward flowing longshore current at the beaches,
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.
