Rip Current Risk Category
* Low Risk - A low risk of rip currents implies that wind and wave
conditions are not expected to support the development of enhanced
rip currents. However, rip currents are always possible, especially
near jetties and other structures. Always have a flotation device
with you in the water.
* Moderate Risk - A moderate risk of rip currents implies
that individuals planning to enter the surf should check with
local beach patrols first. Be sure to swim within sight of a life
guard, and never alone or at night. Always have a flotation device
with you in the water.
* High Risk - A high risk of rip currents means dangerous and
potentially life threatening conditions exist for all people
entering the surf. People visiting the beaches should stay out of
the high surf.
