Beach Hazards Statement issued January 20 at 1:52AM EST until January 21 at 4:00AM EST by NWS Melbourne FL
* WHAT...A strong southward flowing longshore current, with a
moderate risk of dangerous rip currents, exists in the surf zone
today.
* 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...Breezy northwest winds will produce a strong
southward flowing longshore current today, which can push
swimmers into deeper water unexpectedly and make them more
susceptible to dangerous rip currents.
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.
