Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and
piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and

Choppy surf can knock you off your feet and make you even more
susceptible to becoming caught in the seaward pull of a rip
current. Entering the surf today is not advised.
