Description
Rip Current Statement issued September 1 at 2:46AM EDT until September 3 at 4:00AM EDT by NWS Melbourne FL
* WHAT...Numerous strong, life-threatening rip currents expected
with breaking waves building to around 4 feet.
* 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 Saturday night.
* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
from shore into deeper water. Choppy surf can knock you off your
feet and make you even more susceptible to being caught in the
seaward pull of a rip current.
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
signs.
Residents and visitors are strongly urged to stay out of the
ocean due to the dangerous rip current and surf conditions into
the Labor Day holiday weekend.
