Rip Current Warning

Great weather for the beach does not always mean it is safe to swim in the ocean! Choppy, high waves may indicate rip currents, but they often form on calm, sunny days as well.

We are currently in a High Risk Level. Life threatening rip currents are likely. The surf zone is dangerous for all levels of swimmers. To check the risk level in the future, go to weather.gov by clicking here.

Rip currents occur when waves break near the shoreline and/or sandbars, piling up water between the breaking waves and the beach or sandbar. The water going out to the ocean moves very fast, thus causing the rip current.

It is important not to go into the ocean when there is a rip current warning!
